I think there is something seriously wrong with how Kirin takes physical damage on this server vs a test server I've been cross testing on. Physical bloodpacts seem to be also cut almost by half on Kirin vs Tiamat/Jorm/Vrtra/PW/Khim on Nasomi. Ranger damage on Nasomi vs Kirin is terrible vs even retail standards from the 75 ERA. I have screenshots from basic AH rangers pulled from "Fapworthy SC+MB" thread on BG where a E.BOW RNG drops a 1500 sidewinder on Kirin in 2006. I'm a relic ranger, used red curry bun, had double minuet with berserk on and had my highest was 1005 slug shot on Nasomi's current iteration of Kirin. The only reason why it was even remotely high was because defense down proc'ed by the Relic Gaxe from a war in the alliance.
On the server I've been testing physical damage on, without a brd, same gear, berserk and red curry bun. I shoot almost 40-60 damage more than on Nasomi with a brd and was hitting 900 slugshots consistently on this server without a BRD. On normal sky god fights on Nasomi, my damage seemed about what is expected given my gear level.
I noticed this same odd damage taken phenomenon also occurs on Fafnir. SMN is terrible on that fight vs mobs that are higher level like Tiamat, Khim, Jorm and Vrtra. I'm not exactly sure if this is some -% physical damage taken mod that was accidentally put on these mobs or what. I just know something is off here, it is only 3 mobs on Nasomi that are acting this way, Kirin/Nid/Fafnir.
I don't think those numbers for Kirin are that convincing. The BG screenshot is an obvious Flashy Shot, and a post-nerf RNG dealing 900 damage consistently to Kirin without BRD or Flashy Shot is more proof of that Kirin being weaker than it should be. If retail RNG was dealing 900 post-nerf to Kirin without Flashy Shot/BRD, that 1,505 would have been a joke and not an epeen screenshot that other people were impressed by.
The base damage gulf between relic gun & PPA E.Bow is not
huge, and PPA Ebow would mitigate it somewhat with the extra 24~25 ranged attack it has over Anni. If you had flashy shot on your 1005 slug you'd have been right in the ballpark of the BG screenshot, and if you had more buffs (like if you were TP burning Kirin and had SV Minuets+STR Etudes + Angon + Dia, etc.) you'd have surpassed it easily. Those types of screenshots aren't super useful anyway since you never know what buffs/debuffs/etc. are used. Really the retail numbers from that thread line up much more closely with the numbers here than whatever test server you're using.
Also Nid has that weird spammable 2hr thing that beefs up his defense iirc. Fafnir numbers could be interesting though. It's all a bit of a moot point though because with BLM being so much stronger than it should be, there's no real reason to bring melee to anything that you can give TP to.
