Yinnyth @ bluegartrls.com - Elemental obis used defensively

I just ran some tests in ballista with my cor vs. Ellatrix's rdm on iceday. I did one earth shot to determine my base damage was 225 against him. I was in my standard QD gear, no obis on me.

Ella wore nothing but ice obi, and I did nine wind shots for 203 damage each. Ella took the obi off, I did one wind shot for 225 damage.

Ella put the obi back on, I did five ice shots, all five did 245 damage. He took the obi off, did two ice shots, one for 245 (day random proc), one for 225 (day didn't proc).

Conclusion: An elemental obi can be used to cut damage 10% from magic that the current day is dominant against 100% of the time, or increase damage 10% from magic matching the current day when worn by the spell's target!

More testing should most likely be done, but this makes for some very interesting defensive opportunities against anything that you can choose the day you fight it on such as proto ultima or absolute virtue.

useful for mobs like khim, i'd idle in obi to reduce the TP moves. tia (and cerb i guess) i have a fire set if it's really that big a deal. also, citadel buster just lost another 90ish damage depending on build

Considering ballista has things like damage nerfs entering the equation, he's gonna need a hell of a lot more testing (preferably out of ballista) to prove that point. Take a SCH and find a mob that uses fire onry and have some fun.
