Resist Terror

From FFXI Wiki
Job Trait Information
Description Increases resistance against Terror.
Type Equipment

Notes

  • Reduces player susceptibility to receiving the Terror status ailment outright, as well as reducing the duration of some inflictions by an unknown degree[1]
  • Terror resistance is only available through gear, and due to limited equipment selection, only available to certain jobs
  • May not work against certain types of terror
  • Like Resist Death is not halved against NMs and will not display "Resist!" messages[2]
  • Sources will stack additively[3] if multiple pieces are equipped to great effect
  • There is no ilvl version of Sagasinger or Talekeeper at this time, but either can be used as an offhand alongside an ilvl mainhand weapon and still achieve the effect without an unacceptably large loss in damage
    • These have better DMG/delay than another often-used offhand weapon, the Machaera +2/Thibron (in a TP Bonus +1000 configuration), but also provide STR and VIT bonuses
  • There is currently no known cap for Terror Resistance, but unless another hard limit exists, is assumed to be 90% by equipping all three pieces of available gear
