Re: Testing Battle Strats
[@Dread] [@CloudedOtter] So I don't have a ton of time to test things, but I ran a small focus test to pull direct numbers from the History of each battle on Absorb. These numbers are based on how the history log reads: That is: Damage Done / First Absorb ("Pet Absorbs") / Second Absorb ("is Absorbed From") So I've noticed there seem to be three patterns here: 1) Damage, plus two absorbs that total up to about half the damage done; 2) Damage, plus one VERY strong absorb and one 'regular' absorb approximately 1/4th of the damage dealt. 3) Damage, one strong absorb and one regular absorb. Now the ones that seem to be taking the VERY strong absorb, are usually the rather weak opponents on these waves. It makes me wonder if there is a different stat check on the absorbs versus the actual damage done? (Also side note - I have yet to see any hard evidence that Endure is doing any damage reduction, but that's either bad luck, me missing the text, or it not being recorded in the log). Edit to add: I switched to Bleed/Absorb/Liven Up to test things and while I had one tight moment in the last battle I was able to get through everything without any healing items. I just alternated Liven Up and Absorb and used Bleed when both were on cooldown.

Re: Testing Battle Strats
Okay so I am not honestly impressed by Absorb over Liven Up, outside of its cooldown. The healing I'm getting is really meager so far comparatively. I'm also considering trying Endure. I'm unwilling to give up Bleed - it's still a remarkable performer for health based attackers. I'm reluctant to give up Rebuff but I'm finding I'm using it less in the new patterns than I was in the old arena. Ugh IDK! More experimenting to come.

Re: Testing Battle Strats
[@Dread] I am quite curious now because I had the same exact setup on Yuanrang that you started with - Bleed, Rebuff, Liven Up. I am finding that I'm taking a lot more damage (even at lower levels) than I used to, so Liven Up is just not offsetting the damage like it used to. I think I'll try swapping it out for Absorb and see how that goes. I have a reason-based attacker too but I've focused my battling on Yuanrang and want to kind of solidify one strategy before moving on to trying another.

Re: Custom Recolor Requests
Requesting and sending a trade for 3 recolors for my elemental glaives, currently in queue (same ones I PM'd you about a few days ago). These are public and going up for shards, so should be 200g each.

I'm old enough to have my hair going gray, I work from home doing website management, and I'm also a digital artist. I'm sure I'll appear in custom items sooner or later. :)
