Ooops... I R Captain Caveman

...........Ooops on my last Post I used the wrong Spell. It should have been Phalanx and not Protect5. This is actually a good thing because Phalanx was just recently added to a PLD's castables. Anyway here's the skinny............Basically the acceptable formula for Phalanx is... (Enhancing skill /10) -2 ...and from what I have read the Hard Cap for Phalanx is -28% PDT, but this probably needs to be retested as RDM user's Skill has increased with Levels past 75. ...........Now that we are all level 85. A PLD can Cap the Enhancing Skill @ 260. In December when we are all Level 90 our Cap will be 285. This means if we Macro in a pair of Gallant Breeches for an additional +5 Skill we can reach 290. That also means that this December we can reach -27% PDT. (290/10)-2 = 27 (-27% PDT) This leads me back to trying to reach (in Gear) to Cap... -23% MDT -23% PDT +MDB (as much as I can get) .........now I wonder......hmmmmmmm ....what about Breath Damage.... to be continued?

Nope, sorry, still a caveman. Phalanx isn't -PDT%, it's just -damage. So, in your example of (290/10)-2 = 27, if you were to get hit by 1000 Needles, you'd take 973 damage.

If that's the case then to cap would need -50% PDT Gear. Does that mean Phalanx would be outside
this Cap. Need to research more.
Thank you for your post. ;)
