Both Titan and Ravana stomps are magical.

I can't imagine how awesome it would be if it was physical all the way, 500 potency each stomp lol

Radiant Shield is tracked correctly, its both in the combat logs and memory. It is also not a dot, and for those reasons I determine that radiant shield is very under whelming and doesn't work like we think it works.

For example, I haven't confirmed but it looks like any type of shield or ability that neglects dmg will also neglect the proc from radiant shield. Also, currently the way it is tracked in ACT, the damage reads out from the person it proced from... so if you look under outgoing dmg from the tank, you will see radiant shield.

There truly isn't a very viable spot to use ifrit over garuda other than preference to the user.

Radiant Shield is tracked correctly...

Nobody said anything about it being a dot or a proc, it's instant raw damage being reflected or buffed directly. Not sure how ACT is calculating the damage, we tried tracking it after the fight by retrieving logs and it wouldn't even show that some people received the buff when they were all in range, even during cleaves. ACT seems a little lost atm but I'm sure it'll get fixed eventually.

When you say "neglect" what do you mean? I said earlier that even with stoneskin, you are reflecting the 50 potency damage regardless.

There isn't a fight where there is a frequent physical aoe damage, but like I said titan/ravana's stomps would be insane damage since it's multiple hits in a row. Maybe even shiva's sword stance can do a physical aoe damage. I never kept count or cared about physical damage hits that were directed at the party but I guess it matters now. Also, when I'm saying 450-500 potency it's a cumulative.

I'm referring to ACT calculating - ACT reads memory and calculates "DoTs", but upfront dmg is there for the reading... what you see is whats there - no calculation from ACT on those. What I was trying to suggest in my original post was, radiant shield is either not acting correctly or we don't understand the full scope on how it works.

I can ask Ravhn to post directly if that will help with the explanation.

"When you say "neglect" what do you mean? I said earlier that even with stoneskin, you are reflecting the 50 potency damage regardless. "

No your not, if that was the case it was either before application or after the stoneskin broke, check it again. It also might behave on last buff applied? I never asked a healer if stoneskin and aldo is up, what gets eaten first.

You can attempt it yourself, dot with bio and watch it tick, keep observing it and record your highest tick and check ACTs highest recorded tick as well. There is an error margin and it's not insignificant. ACT simulates damage from what I understand? but it's not actual damage that you see as the flying text on your game screen, at least not for dots right now.

sure.

nope, stoneskin'd then pulled the mob and apparently it ignores the 0 damage you are receiving and deals back the damage anyway, physical damage only. As far as I know 2 people tested it, would appreciate if more people did, so many people use succor+galvanize before any massive aoe magical or physical so if that nullifies radiant shield, it wouldn't make sense.
