Talk:Gallant's Roll
From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia
Huh?
Damage reflection?! Llana
Well, it either means reflection as in the previous FF's spell Reflect (where some of the damage dealt to the target is instead dealt to the attacker), or its a mistranslation that they meant to be Deflection (much like the effect of Phalanx, which gives damage reduction). --Chrisjander 03:37, 17 July 2006 (EDT)
It's basically damage spikes. (Like Blaze Spikes). The damage dealt varies by the number rolled. I'm not sure if the damage taken is reduced, but I haven't noticed it. --Zaine 03:49, 17 July 2006 (EDT)
Heh...crazy SE...what's damage spikes have to do with PLD? - Hiachi 02:11, 20 August 2006 (EDT)
Paladins take the most hits, so they're the logical ones to receive the buff. Doesn't mean they couldn't have come up with something better though :) That said, the damage returned is based on the damage recieved in addition to the roll number(I.e., it's % based).

Gallant's Roll element
The page previously said "the spikes are non-elemental" but they are in fact Fire just like the animation suggests. We were testing on Puks--as soon as the day changed to Firesday, the Puks gained 100 TP and executed a TP move after hitting the Paladin once even though no player had damaged it.
I'm sorry but what? are you suggesting that blaze spikes on firesday is 100% TP to the mob? Perhaps I'm wrong, but day of the week has absolutely no bearing on TP gain from ANY source... Edit: easy test to see if it's Fire based, go get smacked by a fire elemental... --Quesela
Yeah, that only works for Windsday, with wind-elemental attacks.

He's talking about the fact that puk type mobs gain 300% tp when they get hit with magic of the same element as the day, and so immediately use a tp move. So the puk gaining tp on the change to firesday would seem to make the damage fire based. Should be easy to test by attacking puks with Gallant's roll up on different days.
