Turn 4 DoTs

[Almalexia]

Even if it's from a magical source, soldier SS will absorb DoT as though it were physical damage (0 damage = damage absorbed by SS).

Funny side note: soldier SS won't absorb damage from a melee DPS limit break. It's not that LB busts through the SS and does damage, rather it completely bypasses the SS and deals full damage while leaving the soldier SS intact.

So magical DoTs are physical damage, and physical limit breaks are magical damage. The Allagans were a strange people.

It doesn't? We had a SMN in our raid for about a week and everytime s/he got top DPS (it was about the same as everyone elses but the Garuda-Egi giving it about 40~50 more is what made the SMN top DPS), but the SMN's dps being on average to everyone else seemed pretty right to me.

I heard it was an issue early on but I thought they fixed that.

yes, it doesn't. I just tested it a few minutes ago (I always test it whenever someone in the forums claims or heard that it's fixed)

but yeah, a lot of it are still not getting parsed.

So Ruin will bypass the stoneskin buff on the Soilders; Will dots being cast on same target eventually peel off the buff?

Reason I ask my group currently runs 2 Bards 1 Monk 1 Summoner. the summoner is dpsing the Soilder until stoneskin drops then swaps to other soilder.

My question is it better to have one of the bards also on the Soldier to peel off the Stoneskin buff faster so the Dots to damage?

Either way you would still want to dot each soldier so you can bane the dots off to the knight.
