I went out to try Seps for mah feet seals (4/8) and he dropped my Sheep and Ladybug like a couple of rocks. Was using DG/Viss/MC. Why didn't Ducal Guard kick in at all?

inb4 under 50% HP, Yes I know that. But it still didnt kick in.

inb4 Seps poison, read that Seps was piss easy to solo, why did I have such an issue?

If you are trying to reach 100% PDT, they lowered the cap to 80 something% a while ago.

Seps has a pretty ridiculous en-poison effect, I don't think ducal guard affects dot.

Interestingly enough this cap also applies to mobs such as the damage type mobs in limbus. You can damage them even if it's kinda small damage.

Seps was always a pain in the *** for BST unless you're spamming reward. The En-poison is pretty massive and will eat away at pets regardless of your atma.

I was wondering if someone knows a link to something that proves/states/tested this. I would like to inform some people in my LS about this since they think it is capped @50% now and I know they will want some evidence.

Probably somewhere in this thread: http://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/21645/the-days-of-pet-pdt-build-se-officially-goodbye/

edit: page 9, tested with 1000 Needles.
