How important is Foresight endgame?

[nekroturkey]

Important enough to keep it at a higher spot on my hotbar?

I've been using Foresight on my PLD for ages and, well, I couldn't even tell you. I usually throw it out at the same time as Bulwark to make them add up to something useful, but by itself, I've never really noticed a difference.

20% increase on physical defense. Now if it is 20% of your current defense or a set number? I don't know know. I have noticed that if you do use it your defense on your attribute tabs does increase. I just never bothered with doing the math. I vaguely remember my defense jumping from like 646 to around 850

It's something that get's better as your defense goes up. I imagine with time it might be possible for Foresight to negate more physical damage than Rampart once our gear levels get high enough, assuming there isn't some residual cap set beyond what is possible to obtain at this point.

Yes. Still good to use, if for no other reason than because all your other CDs are down. It's a pretty weak CD all alone, typically will use it in combination of another weaker CD like Featherfoot, Awareness, Bloodbath, etc. As far as how high on your list, I guess it depends how many low level dungeons you do. I have Stoneskin first (since CNJ doesn't get it until 34), Bloodbath, Foresight, Fracture, Mercy Stroke on PLD.

It's based on current defense and stacks with the Def boost from Protect.

i still use it, even though it doesnt really negate too much, it is enough to help the healers keep up. on ifrit ex, foresight on its own drops damage by several hundred, like i said, not a big amount, but a drop from 700 to about 450 per hit, really helps out with the healers.

Any mitigation at all is worth having.

Except maybe Awareness...

[Synestr]

Lol, speakingof awareness...I use it with both Sentinel and Foresight, a little help never hurt. Awareness by itself though...nopenopenope

Mitigation (Foresight) and VIT are great when you're progressing through content, getting comfortable with your party, and mastering your role.

Offense (other aggressive cooldowns) and STR are great when you're pushing your group's abilities and challenging each other to get better and faster.

Foresight's effective damage reduction is miniscule, so swapping it out once you're done learning encounters won't be noticed.

I dunno Turn 6 when you have physical vulnerability stacks, its pretty good.....

I dunno Turn 7 when OTing adds and mitigation needed, sure does help

I dunno Turn 8 starting to see the point?? a pure mitigation ability is something you should never skip on
