After performing some tests which are shown on my Usertalk page, it would appear that RDM does not gain MABIII at level 60 and does not have it at least up to lv69. I'll removed the entry regarding it until someone can confirm that RDM gains the trait (if at all) at 70+. -Nivlakian 13:01, 19 November 2006 (EST)
Elemental Weapon Skills
Seriously? o,O That seems odd. Has anyone actually done any tests with "all things being equal?" I always find my burning blade every bit as feeble regardless of RDM versus BRD. --Kattrina 05:34, 21 December 2006 (EST)
Wording
"Despite the apparent pattern, RDMs do not gain Magic Attack Bonus III at level 60"
It's horrible. There is no "apparent pattern." It would be like saying "Rectangle, Square? Obviously the next shape should be Triangle." Further: RDM doesn't get MDB at 75. DRG doesn't get Accuracy Bonus II at 70 "like the pattern." In fact.. is there any point to this line in its entirety? Anyone who can read a chart can see RDM doesn't get MAB III lmao... --Grm88 08:13, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
It's probably a non-issue now but the "pattern" is MABI BLM10 RDM20, MABII BLM30 RDM40, MABIII BLM50 RDM60(?). There is logic to it, its just wrong ^^ Orenwald 08:08, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
Drain/Aspir
Is it just me or does Drain and Aspir not take MAB into account?
With +12 MAB (in addition to +20 from /rdm34 trait) but being "Double Weakened" (see Weakness) My Blizzard/Thunder III was hitting for 0 dmg every time against campaign mobs yet my Drain/Aspir were doing the same damage as always. Alexkrycek 18:22, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
MAB has NO EFFECT WHATSOEVER on Drain or Aspir. This may or may not be the actual thing that happens, but I like to keep things simple when explaining things, and simply say double weakness essentially turns your MAB multiplier to 0. Anytime you multiply anything by 0, you get 0, which is why drain and aspir continue to function.--Nynja 21:22, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
On second thought, having been double weakened as COR and having earth shot do 0 damage, I actually do believe what happens is your MAB multiplier becomes 0. --Nynja 02:02, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
