Talk:1000 Needles

Does bursting this make it any less likely to resist? Tahngarthor 16:46, 14 December 2006 (EST)
R.Acc
Apparently R.Acc also affects 1000 Needles. tested 10/10 times on colibri that all 1000 hit and did 1000 dmg.
When fighting against enemies that use this move, try and get as many people as you can in range of the attack. The attack will do less if there are more people around the enemy. Some maths might help to explain this.
If only one person is in range of 1000 needles, he/she will take 1000 damage.
If two people are in range, each person will take 500 damage.
If three people are in range, each person will take 333 damage.
If four people are in range, each person will take 250 damage.
If five people are in range, each person will take 200 damage.
If ten people are in range, each person will take 100 damage.
If one thousand people are in range, each person will take 1 damage. (Would only happen if cactuars were in beseiged, lol)
The only ways to reduce the damage of 1000 needles is to get more people in range of the attack, hope it misses, stop it from happening in the first place, or wearing physical damage -% gear (eg Defending Ring).

This may be the same for when a blue mage does it, might need somebody to go and test it out. I'd do it myself but my BLU is only level 30, and this is a level 62 spell for BLUs to learn. --Fruitcake 23:56, 4th July 2007 (GMT)
