Talk:Dream Shroud

From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia

i want to test the MDB properties of this BP, as well as get the exact times it switches percent bonuses, but i'm unsure about how to do this.

the first few things i need to discern are: 1. is the mab/mdb decided "at cast" of dream shroud, or "at cast" of the spell it is effecting? 2. at noon, what is the exact mab amount? 3. at noon/midnight what is the exact mdb amounts?

i was thinking for a base test i will invite two friends into a diorama-ballista, both blm, same race and merits(or preferrably, pre level 75, or unmerited.)

pit them against each other naked, with me buffing only one of them, record both sets of numbers of identically casted spells. only issue with this is if ballista has this altered somehow in an attempt to balance it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Frodnonnag (talk • contribs).

Ballista testing is useless for MAB/MDB, nuke damage isn't calculated the same way. A better way to test MDB is to go to Aydeewa Subterrane and let a worm nuke you with various buffs. --Valyana 14:47, 13 April 2007 (EDT)

I would personally recommend testing with a Corsair using Quick Draw, as MAB directly affects the results, and resists are plainly obvious. You should be able to test MDB in a similar fashion, since Quick Draw damage is solid consistent numbers. I could be wrong on that part though. --Solarhawk 07:32, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
