Notes

  • The magic equivalent is Addle.png  Addle, with the percents for the damage types flipped. The Tank role.png Tank equivalent is Reprisal.png  Reprisal which is a point-blank AoE and has a lower cooldown. Most physical ranged DPS lack an enemy damage down ability (except for Machinist frame icon.png machinist's Dismantle.png  Dismantle), and instead have job-specific but functionally identical AoE abilities that reduce damage taken by themselves and allies.
