Talk:Resistance

What I really wanted to talk to you about, though, is that I have found a few more bits of info in the past that you may want to add or edit into the FFXIclopedia. For example, regarding the Resistance article, I have found proof that every player has a hidden elemental resistance stat (the very same numbers in your equipment menu) equal in value to the cap for C-ranked skills (- or + is, so far, impossible to determine, however.) There is also a mistake in the article that states that MND affects your resistance and damage taken from all spells; this is incorrect - for Black Magic, the caster's INT is checked against the target's INT, and for White Magic, the caster's MND is checked against the target's MND.

I have also found that the elemental Ninjutsu (Katon, Hyoton, etc.) give -30 elemental resistance for 15 seconds, and that the spell and its aftereffects are impossible to resist. The damage from the spell IS subject to resists; however, the spell will ALWAYS connect, even if only for 0 damage; you will never get a "Resist!" message, unless the target has magical immunity (Magical Shield, is it?) or is immune to that spell's element altogether (Elementals). Furthermore, the spell is guaranteed to give the mob -30 resistance for approximately 15 seconds. In that sense, the Ninjutsu elemental wheel is very similar to Dia and Bio.
