Let's cap Stoneskin!

After reading this thread I realised I had never actually checked to see if my stoneskin was capped and assumed the formula I was using was correct.

Cactuars seemed like a good idea to test on, and I didn't feel like buying venom pots.
First step was to find one, and nuke it down below 25% (so TP would be used instantly) and then sleep & get naked!



Equip stoneskin gear and cast:



Then I bound/gravitied the cactuar (getting hit would obviously ruin the test as you don't know how much HP you've lost) and proceeded to spam Dia for 1 damage to feed it 100tp.

After god-knows-how-many Needleshots (and subsequent stoneskin recasts), it finally used 1000 needles.


At first I thought I had broken the game by achieving a 550 HP stoneskin, but then realised I had my earth staff equipped.

So 1000 - 20% (staff) = 800 - 450 (damage taken) = 350 stoneskin!
