@Falern - https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...ula_forsights/

Shows the new DEF scaling to be .0001725 * DEF to get your base mitigation %. In his example at i179 he had 1691 DEF which would be 29.16% physical mitigation, add in Foresight, 2029 DEF for 35% mitigation for a gain of 5.8% physical mitigation.
Let a Tarantula hawk hit me in the back, avg auto attack damage without foresight, 461, with 416. That's a 10.2% difference.
Going by the lowest attack from both had a 13% difference and the highest of both had 7% difference. Not totally relevant stats though.


But then again, his math does say I should be taking 9.5% less damage while under the effect of foresight,
(1000) * (1 - (0.0001725 * 2180 )) = 623.95
(1000) * (1 - (0.0001725 * 1817 )) = 686.5675



= ( | 623.95 - 686.5675 | / ((623.95 + 686.5675)/2) ) * 100
= ( | -62.6175 | / (1310.5175/2) ) * 100
= ( 62.6175 / 655.25875 ) * 100
= 0.095561 * 100

= 9.5561% difference

or am I doing my math totally wrong here?

Not saying foresight is the best cooldown ever, but with it is better in this tier than it was before, and it only gets better with gear.
