Changes: Shield Mastery

Revision as of 03:24, 25 July 2009

Game Description: Grants TP bonus when blocking an attack with a shield.
TP bonus is granted when shield blocks physical attacks; no TP bonus if shield fails to block.
- In order to receive TP from being hit, it requires that the unblocked hit would have done more than zero damage. If you would have taken 0 damage (due to an effect such as Stoneskin or Phalanx), no TP will be gained even if your shield blocks.
Prevents spell interruption from attacks that are blocked with the shield during spell casting. Any attacks that are not blocked by the shield still have a chance to interrupt.
Further Notes:
- There are three levels of Shield Mastery, which are obtained at: Level 25, Level 50, and Level 75.
- It is speculated that on shield block, one would gain 1 extra TP with Shield Mastery I, 2 TP with Shield Mastery II, and 3 TP with Shield Mastery III.
  - Another theory holds that Store TP enhances the TP bonus.
- See FFXIOnline for more discussion on the effects of this Job Trait.

-**While Powerleveling a friend in Sarutabaruta, shield blocking and taking 0 damage would give a full 5 tp
-***This is because the damage was probably 1 and reduced to 0 by the block
