Talk:Aquaveil

From FFXI Wiki

Don't feel like doing a big post and organizing all the evidence, so I'm just throwing this here before I update the page. Tested Aquaveil on GEO/RDM vs a lvl 124 mob, at 298, 300, and 302 skill on Aquaveil cast. Tested on blink cast with no SIRD gear, and removed ivlv wep(Did have SIIRD merits so that probably made this harder.) At 298 and 300 is was able to see Aquaveil removed in a single hit. At 302 it took at least 2 hits in all trials. Limited sample size, though. So it seems like the break point is 300. At and below, 1 interrupt guard, above 2.--Martel (talk) 20:43, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

It struck me as odd it takes 301 skill to hit 2 interrupt guards, but we have 500 skill even listed for 3. If 301 is accurate for one breakpoint, then the 500 skill one is probably 501 skill. So I setup another test. WHM/SCH accession'ing Aquaveil to a PLD/SMN. Aquaveil set was at exactly 500 skill. PLD cast in a non ilvl wep, removed SIRD merits. Faced away from mob to prevent blocks. And moved away a bit on each cast so I wouldn't have to dismiss the avatar each summoning magic cast. 0 Summoning skill. Attacker was a lvl 138 Apex Helm Elytra. PLD/PLD mob so no DA.

500 skill Aquaveil was removed in two hits. Retested with 501 skill, and it took 3 hits.
