hmmm. I'm a fan of correlation does not imply causation. My understanding is that most mobs deal physical damage right now. I wonder if things will change slightly against mobs that deal more magic damage, or against mobs that are highly evasive.

I don't completely follow this, care to explain? Was this in regards to my recommendation to ignore VIT? Or are you implying that the BLM in the above scenario was not trying to pull hate on purpose? I can say for a fact that it's true, because there is more than one BLM in my LS that tries to rip hate off the tank intentionally. We're usually all on voice chat, and they giggle about it, when it happens.


Actually kinda OT but your response made me think about our own evasion stats. Imo magic evasion is much more beneficial than physical evasion. While it is true that most attacks against you are physical damage, the big ones that will get you close to death or kill you in one shot are usually magic attacks. Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the way the evasion stats work is that it gives you a percentage chance to completely evade the attack, therefore magic evasion will save you more often than physical evasion.
