Topic. Just wondering if it blocks much more damage, or is it mainly just to give more Mp back upon blocks?

Edited TP to MP was a typo. ty Lucried isn't it only more Damage to MP like it says?
It has more lolVIT!
But yeah, I don't think you get any actual important stats taking the Ochain to 99. It's basically only done as a "I really like PLD" sort of thing. Ochain has some of the worst synergy on stats for an item in the game, which is saying a lot considering the other items SE has designed. I only restores MP when blocked, but it's based on the damage you take and it reduces damage by like 90%...wat. Offline

It restores more than enough MP at 90 so i wouldnt bother going to 99 for that, I was just hoping it blocked more damage at Higher level. Guess not though. Offline

If only it converted damage to MP before the damage was reduced so you'd benefit more from that stat, SE got their order of operations wrong I guess.

I'm guessing it was intentional given how high the percentage is (35%). Compare that to Flume belt and Ethereal Earring (2% and 3% respectively) and it might make some bit of sense. Having it be 35% of straight up damage taken before block would probably be really broken. If I was before-block damage I'd probably set it at something like 10% and it'd still be really good.

How much a shield reduces damage by is determined by its defense rating. Ochain's defense doesn't increase from 90 to 99 so the damage it blocks stays the same. Instead of getting 2/3* MP back when you block and take 10 damage, you get 3/4* MP!
* Does it round down or up? |
