they submit a new formula for phalanx
(Enhancing / 10) - 2
- is this a percentage or an amount of damage?
(If it were an amount of DMG then RDM/BLU really would be invincible, so I would guess it's a percent, but the article says it's an amount of damage.)
It's an amount of damage. RDM is invincible, but I'm not sure what /BLU has to do with it? Cocoon it nice, but defense only goes so far. RDM gets by just fine with /NIN. Nothing beats 0 damage like 0 damage. Utsusemi: Ni + Stoneskin + Phalanx = hard to beat. --Chrisjander 13:32, 30 December 2006 (EST)
Side Note: RDM Enhancing caps at 256 at level 75. This would put their Phalanx up to absorbing 23 damage without merits into enhancing magic skill. --Chrisjander 13:36, 30 December 2006 (EST)
With Cocoon + good defense & VIT gear and food, not much will hit for more than 23 dmg, so with phalanx it will be 0 DMG even without stoneskin. Stoneskin will cover the spikes that occasionally pop up, but stoneskin would wear off from time more often than from dmg.
The lastest edit by Eiyoko has me scratching my head as to both its exact meaning and its source.--AshmadaLakshmi 13:20, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
Same here, the wording is confusing and Eiyoko has provided no sources or evidence of whatever it is that the phrase is supposed to mean. Should this be reverted? --FFXI-Setesh 22:15, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Undoing the edit by Eiyoko. In my experience, the known equation for Phalanx is perfectly correct. --FFXI-Setesh 20:45, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
The reversion is fine, as the equation is the accepted norm. Strange occurrences or exception can be noted here on the talk page. --◄Chrisjander► t/ c 22:01, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
The link to an FFXI Calculator for Phalanx appears to be broken. Fiorenzo 13:45, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Enhancing skill caps
Article says '301' is the SCH cap... yet I'm finding the cap at 313. This is probably because of the relic being released, but that would put the original at 308, not 313... is there something I'm missing?
Enhancing Torque 7 Augmenting Earring 3 Glamor Jupon 3 Merciful Cape 5 Relic Body 7 AF Pants 15 8 Merits 16Totals to 313 with Light Arts... right?
- Aside from the fact that you can't wear two body pieces at once? --Blazza 01:13, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
