From FFXI Wiki



Overview

Enfeebling Magic is a general category of spells which apply negative status effects ("debuffs") to one or more enemy targets. The majority of enfeebling spells, including many higher tier exclusive spells, and the highest enfeebling magic skill are available to RDM, with small subsets of those spells available to GEO, SCH, WHM, DRK, and BLM. Since most enfeebling spells are learned at relatively low levels, RDM sub can offer a wide variety of enfeebling spells to any job capable of landing them successfully.

Enfeebling Magic skill determines the accuracy and spell interruption rate of Enfeebling Magic spells. Aside from Dia Spells and Inundation, all enfeebling spells either resist completely or "stick" on the target. For spells which land successfully, the duration of the debuffing effect is highly dependent on the accuracy of the spell relative to the target's resistance (and/or magic evasion).

For enfeebling spells with variable potency, the potency is calculated from a formula which varies by spell (Blind, Slow, Paralyze, Addle, Frazzle, Distract, Poison).

Formulas

Immunobreak

When a monster resists an Enfeebling spell and has a negative status rank of anywhere from Rank 11(5%) to Rank 6(30%), an Immunobreak may occur, which will be indicated in the log by the text "Immunobreak!". This will reduce the monster's resistance to the same effect from any source by one Resist Rank. The chance of an Immunobreak occurring increases with the player's Enfeebling Magic Skill, Immunobreak chance Merits, and Saboteur, as well as each time an Immunobreak is unsuccessful. Once the effect is landed from any source, the effect of Immunobreak will reset, and it will be more difficult to subsequently reapply.

  • Spells that can Immunobreak operate off of a negative status effect resistance rank that is separate from elemental resistance ranks.
  • These negative status effect resistance ranks are unaffected by Rayke or Skillchains, and spells such as Threnody that lower elemental resistance have no effect on the magic accuracy of spells that Immunobreak.
  • "Immunobreak"+1 (from equipment such as Chironic Hose) increases the number of Resist Ranks reduced per Immunobreak by one.
  • If the monster is completely immune to the effect, the log will mention that the target "completely resists the spell". In this case, neither Immunobreak nor Stymie will be effective.
  • Not all enfeebling spells are eligible for Immunobreak. Eligible spells are Slow, Paralyze, Silence, Blind, Gravity, Bind, Poison, Break, Sleep and any higher tier or -ga variants.

Most enemies added to the game since 2012 (when the Immunobreak mechanic was introduced) do not possess complete immunities to enfeebling effects, and Immunobreak can often be used to land effects to which many earlier NMs had complete immunity, such as Sleep and Silence. Additionally, many NMs in prior content had complete immunities eliminated, with a few exceptions:
