Talk:Magic Damage

From FFXI Wiki



Regarding Authorship

This page has been recreated based upon the April 1, 2007 02:24 version of Calculating Magic Damage [1]. That page in turn was originally created by Nivlakian On August 27, 2006 [2], based on a post on BG forums by Aurik [3]. In the intervening period between its creation and the version you see recreated here, a number of corrections and improvements were made based on original research by Nivlakian and myself. Any edits made to that page by any person other than Nivlakian or myself had, in that time, been reverted to a previous version by myself or Nivlakian, or was itself a revert to such a version, which can be verified by checking the history page [4]. He and I have both given our permission to have this page recreated here. -Suiram 00:57, 24 September 2007 (CDT)

Magic Burst Bonus

Further testing has shown that the bonuses from sorcerer's gloves, static earring, as well as the bonuses from levels 2 and 3 AM2 act on the same term, and that this term is calculated after the Magic Burst term and prior to the MAB/MDB term. The details of these tests will be available on Nivlakian's User Talk page shortly. I have created a new category for this stage of the calculation and added this information accordingly. -Suiram 09:46, 29 December 2007 (EST)

Base Damage and Negative dINT

One of the final remaining aspects of this damage formula that needed verification from its original translation was the assertion that M=1 whenever dINT is negative in the base damage formula. A preliminary test has shown this to be false, as Blizzard 4 had M=1.5 on the range of -3 to 0 dINT. I've adjusted the line for the time being, and intend to investigate this further in the near future. -Suiram 01:09, 11 January 2008 (EST)

Daybreak

Is Daybreak under the "magic affinity" term like Weatherspoon Ring? Should be simple to confirm but I'm curious and don't want to toss my current ring. -Staplerguy (talk) 04:53, 24 September 2020 (EDT)
