Thread: Null/ enhance effect of elemental spells

Agreed, but specifically on the topic of how nullify and resist functions work.

I still like the multiple tier system like how fire>fira>firaga>flare works.

Also, don't forget absorb.

Ifrit traditionally would heal from fire-based weapon or spell damage.

One specific exception to the traditional rule: Machinery was traditionally weak toward electricity.

This also reminds me about traditional undead: Many were highly resistant to most elements, somewhat weak to fire, but their real achilles heel was... cure being used like a nuke, and raise being used as an even more powerful nuke.

-of course such a thing isnt even possible pre-2.0

Lastly... I would love to know whether they plan any sort of system like:

+100% elemental absorb (matching-elemental attacks or spells would almost always heal the normal damage value if a target had this)
+50% elemental absorb (matching-elemental attacks or spells would almost always heal half the normal damage value if a target had this)
+100% elemental resist (matching-elemental attacks or spells would almost always deal zero damage if a target had this)
+50% elemental resist
normal
-50% elemental resist
-100% elemental resist (matching-elemental attacks or spells would almost always crit if a target had this)

For certain creatures, these properties could be part of their bestiary. For players, certain types of armor could bear these stats, which could be used in building elemental armor sets, which have positive (and negative) elemental properties.
