1.20 Attack Magic Test

[Deli]

Hi all,

I went killed 150 L50 Kobold Prelates with Thundering combo.
The test goal is to figure out int vs. attack magic pot vs. elemental magic pot

Spread sheet here

In sum,
- No visual difference between Attack magic potency and elemental Magic potency
- No visual difference between +8 attack m. pot and +7 int
- +11 int adding thunder 11 (+1.3%), Thundara 42 (+3.3%), Thundaga 16 (+0.9%) of damage in combo
- +7 int adding thunder 11 (+1.3%), Thundara 26 (+2.0%), Thundaga 14 (+0.7%) of damage in combo (separate test)
- +8 Attack Magic Pot adding thunder 7 (+0.9%), Thundara 28 (+2.0%), Thundaga 24 (+1.3%) of damage in combo

Note: the critical attack are taking out from the average. Thundaga's combo bonus is crit damage +

I couldn't really think right now XD have to finish the test in a short time so it won't go far off by the environmental factor. I'll add more of my thoughts later. so ya don't go too addictive to these materia and stuffs it's not worth it.

Hi Deli,

Thanks for the latest test. Some interesting results.

It's a bit shocking to see +Elemental stats doing basically nothing for your Elemental Spell chain.

And it seems like INT is the one noticeable factor.

If you have the raw data still, you might want to post / check the #'s for Criticals. To see if Critical Damage got affected by these various changes you did. That'd be nice if that was affected by a stat.

Neat-o! I'm glad you posted this. I've been eyeballing +attack magic potency and +earth magic potency on my Conjurer.

I wanted to share your same initial opinions of:
Same level ~ same mob means same statistics.
Weather not having an effect on spells yet.

<3 thanks for confirming with me. I always worried that I missed some info like first test I did.

glad you like these
something when I did my other curing test, I found out the mind to curing magic might not be linear. My guess is SE wants to reward the double materia players, so they did such adjustment. so far I just done 350 cura and 150cure on 7 situations. I need more time to complete the test. (got caught by the moogle battle in the middle of my test XD) I will need more average results out of 50 cura for different mind value to do the chart.

In that case, maybe int and attack magic pot share the same situation. Right now, I don't think int and m. att pot has that much difference, maybe later they will.

Another note is I never get resisted by these L50 kobolds. I think I need to take some risk and find something will resist me, maybe L52 doorguards of Zahar'ak, for the complete attack magic test. I really need that part of information to clarify the core issue- "should I put m. acc or int materia to Head/wand?" same thing to rings selection. Also, there might be some relationship between int and resistance from the mobs. So... lots things need to be tested. Since last fight nothing resist all of my magic, we maybe can thing that's the average of max dmg you can have from these stat. Maybe also that's why they didn't show the same thing as my first test: int shows more on combo bonus and att. m. pot. increase more on base value.

so ya give me a little more time ^^:: I'll finish healing magic first (<--so much easier than attacking ) then I'll finish this one
