Ironic eh the petition to end gil buyiong adn thers a gil buying add >.< but to whaat i know ummmm well trhats nothig

Umm... Ok, that's a bit off-topic here keep on topic if you can please.

As far as CHR for this game I wouldn't write it out just yet. CHR by definition doesn't mean solely how Charismatic a person can be. CHR by definition has a holy or divinity attribute to it. This game suggests that it's being used in that nature when you look at the gear CHR is attached to.

Gear with CHR you will also find to give:

+MP or +HP (Depending on the alignment of the CHR)

For example most Full Moon gear gives CHR, Light, or HP. Then most New Moon gear gives CHR, Dark, or MP. Then you also stuff of a 'lucent' alignment not quite Full Moon and not New Moon, these items generally give CHR, +hp/+mp, +light/+dark. With many examples in the game it suggest CHR to be like a luck factor or a YingYang stat.

So CHR kind of seems to be a stat that any job could benefit from in some nature or another.

Re: Theory on which stat affects which skill.

This is just an idea im throwing out but since CHR is mostly only useful to BRDs and BSTs, its possible S-E decided to have another job depend to some extend on that stat. And about the divine feel to CHR, i dont really feel beastmasters are that holy :p

From my point of view, CHR would be the persona, the impression you give to others, that certain "je ne sais quoi" which makes people follow someone or tremble before him/her just by looking/hearing at him/her. In my opinion, CHR has a certain sense for BLU, in the way that BLU immitates a monster, and CHR could help the BLU make the move as precisely as possible, hence making the effect better. (Im not saying CHR IS the best stat for BLU here, im just stating why in my opinion it would make a certain sense for it to be "moderatly important" as an overall small dmg boost)

/sigh

A blu absorbs the abilites and essence of defeated monsters. He doesnt "preform" he uses these abilities as a monster. Remember Immortals dont die, the lose to the beast inside.

Re: Theory on which stat affects which skill.

I cannot explain why CHR helps Blu. I can bring in many views of DD, GURPS, ect... But to me it doesnt explain it as this is FFXI. The reason I put on CHR equips is because I know it helps. Those who want to test it go ahead, I have seen multiple tests from multiple people. Sometimes CHR seems to help alot or a little, but there is always some change for the better...

Please try it out for yourselves.

That is correct as Cha enhances the "killer" traits which cause mobs to be intimidated by you. Also Blu needs a strong personality to enforce his will on the powers hes infusing his spirit with while still resisting the 'beast within'. So its not off-the-wall that it would have some bearing on a Blus magical ability.

Re: Theory on which stat affects which skill.

Indeed, i also meant that as in the way we "become" the monster, and just how well we assume that role, take it that way; Samurais had to have skill, but they also had to intimidate their opponents, a very good swordsman was considered a good samurai, but a good swordsman combined with one who can destabilize off his enemies by the energy he projects was even better.

Remember the immortals; i dont know for you, but i was impressed by the aura they give out. They seem like very important figures, and the way i see it, CHR might help them assume their roles. (By the way, i dont remember seeing somewhere that we absorb the energies of monsters; we learn the techniques, and what can be taken as absorbing their essence, is the fact that we have to become the monster to use their abilities, A.K.A. immitating. (Unless my memory is turning bad on me.)) And the fact that we have to fight the beast within, is just because we have to get so much like beasts to use their skills that our personnality is mixed up with beast-like feelings. In a way, we could say that a very charismatic BLU would be very very close to the beast within him.

(Those are just my thoughts on this, im not saying that this is exactly how S-E meant it, im just saying this makes sense to me lol)

Re: Theory on which stat affects which skill.

This is all very interesting, but alas, not in the spirit of the original post. I gotta say I'm more interested on how much of my Beastmaster CHR+ gear I can throw on and beat hell out of everything.

Don't want such a potentially beneficial thread to flop into a flame war and get locked.

Re: Theory on which stat affects which skill.

Old thread but good info in here and the other. Seeign as my blu is only 38 now, I loaded up on , in this order..Chr,Dex,Int,Str. My chr is +16 and my dex +13, I definately noticed the difference with the + char versus the -char. So i'll stick with my set up.

Re: Theory on which stat affects which skill.

Sorry but really curious do we have any confirmation what +charisma do for Blue? apparently now I have +9 charisma...and It seems that my Blue is much more powerful than before.
