Job Ability Cascade

I am trying to find information about this JA. How does it work? Do I melee then WS then cast spell? any tests been done?

I don't know how much it adds, but the way it works is obviously through accumulating TP via whatever means (melee, Occult Acumen, etc), using the JA, then casting.

Ahh ok I was backwards then. Thanks. Funny that there's no info on it other than anecdotal.

The only information I was able to find is that it appears to multiply damage by 2.5x at 3000%. I would guess that it scales linearly from 0%.

Looks like 3000TP with Bliz5 2155, without it my Bliz5 did 1693 on Duriumshell crab. eyeballing it, 25% higher?

edit: haha i didnt refresh page, so yeah 2.5x

Friend of me testing it some didn't find a multiplier to be true. It seemed to boost low tier spells a lot more than high tier spells.

Seems to add some amount of Mdamage maybe

I concur with this statement. I did some testing on it today to verify/debunk this theory and came up with these results:

(+8 mDMG JP, +40 natural MAB, +7 MAB gift, +3 MAB from Shiva +1, to cap dINT)

(Nearly) Naked Water I: 259 vs Huge Hornet ((165+8)*1.50=259.5

Same gear, 1000TP Cascade: 409 ((165+8+x)*1.50=409)
Breaking this 409 down, we get:
409/1.50=272.6667
Assuming 273 due to flooring...
273-8=265
265-165=100

Based on this, we see that, at least, @1000TP, you get +100 mDMG.

Same gear, same mob, 2000TP: 559 ((165+8+x)*1.50=559)
Breaking 559 down...
559/1.50=372.6667
Again, assume 373 with flooring...
373-8=365
365-165=200

I can say, pretty conclusively, that at intervals of 1000 TP, you get +100 mDMG.

Now, to see if it's a straight 10% of your TP or if it's a variable...

1500TP: 484
484/1.50=322.6667
323-8=315
315-165=150

That being said, Cascade is 10% of your current TP, converted to mDMG only; no change to MAB.
