That post was in response to whether the 4th job damage reduction skill stacked with things like invincible. And also, there's a damage cap, that's why I mentioned the possibility of him just doing the damage cap but the numbers not actually reflecting it. Besides, since a certain someone was so adamantly against these interpretations, I retracted my statements. I never said these were the ways the thing actually worked. I merely said it'd be nice if that's how it were since that aran was taking zakum's HP off in chunks. he finished off zak 3 in under 800 hits. (110,000,000 / 800 = 137,500). So on average he'd have to have done more than that per hit. Also, a good number of those hits were from the mobs, or a handful during the super def up. This is what led me to the conclusion that the skill might attempt to make the aran do zak's HP in damage (110,000,000), but is instead reduced to ~200k, because of the damage cap. Once again this was all speculation.
All I know is that even if each and every single hit of his was 70,000, he'd have to hit zak over 1500 times to kill him.
1) he didn't in the video
2) 70k was a critical on the last hit of his combo (the bear swipe)
3) everything else was a lot lower than 70k, yet he STILL kills zak3 in under 800 hits.
Do you see why I would've thought my line of reasoning now?
Edit: oh, also, at 5:08 after he gets stunned zakum roughly has 1/10th~1/15th of his hp left. Yet he kills zak in about 3 combos (norm hit->double->triple->that bear swipe). It's impossible to knock off even 1/20th of zak's hp off in 3 combos especially since in each combo, he at most does a total of 250k. And it's probably a less than that.
