Enhancing Magic

[Sol_Aureus]

When you're taking damage with the stacked VIT, does it seem like it's about the same amount as without the stacking?

I'm fairly certain there's a damage reduction when stacking VIT.

Unfortunately I don't have proper data to tell you if it's substantial enough to warrant full stacking VIT, most all of my testing was done in Aurum Vale using the poison, which is constant damage. I also did some testing by letting the Boars outside of Aurum Vale hit me, but my method for testing my Enhancing Magic was to equip/unequip gear until I got the proper enhancing magic level. As such, I had substantial differences in my DEF rating as well, so I really don't know how much of a reduction there is. In addition, those Boars are level 40-43, so dLVL played a big part in how much damage reduction I was getting.

If I had to make a guess, the damage reduction from VIT is not substantial enough to consider that a reason to stack it. Only concentrate on turnovers of Enhancing Magic.

Oh, and I updated the original post with another picture with base stat turnovers. This applies to all magic potency types (and magic accuracy). Keep in mind that WHM gets +18 Healing Magic Potency, +8 Enhancing Magic Potency, and +8 Magic Accuracy from our traits.

Amazing thread Sol. But to answer the question on VIT and damage reduction, we worked it out to 3 VIT = 2 DEF (same as the STR:ATK ratio).
