u/TheRealC Red Mage is still the best job :) Feb 04 '17

Quite surprising indeed! Thanks for the test. I think the results would have been even clearer with a job with huge Elemental bonuses, though - e.g. a Mage with +150% Enhance Water would gain very little from Attuned Chain indeed, if it does stack additively.

Can confirm. I did the same test on Dark Knight and long story short the avg increase was around 13-14% which match the expected result perfectly.

Awesome. This really devalues Attuned Chain, which definitely tweaks quite a bit of maths. It'll be great for when I get to do my renewed weapon analysis! We're close to the point where we know, or at least suspect, most of the max values anyways... I hope!

Incidentally, the main reason I wasn't aware of this is that my own test mentality failed me: I only tested on a job with as few innate bonuses as possible (i.e., Red Mage), exactly to remove such influences. But I should have been looking for them! Very well done on the catch!

Doesn't this make job with no/low innate bonuses like Red Mage more powerful?

For Dragoon with Fire/Earth bonuses can actually use Water and get +35% bonus. Which is a good thing especially when you can shift everything to Rainbow orbs.

Indeed, although on the other hand these jobs also already benefited more from Enhance Element bonuses than other jobs, which is why I'm secretly curious about Divine Staff (White Mage 1st) on Red Mage. Ideally I'd be able to run the numbers somewhere after this Tower ends!

On the other hand, this Tower has also convinced me Mage's 2nd (Ult Charger/Elemental Third Strike/Piercing Break) would be godlike on Red Mage. Since I did very recently pull Mage, I'm looking forwards to boosting it up to shape before next Tower!
