Mental Strength
Overview
Mental Strength (also called Steel Body) converts the Monk's body into an impenetrable iron fortress. While active, all damage is drastically reduced through fixed hard DEF and MDEF values, at the cost of mobility and combat flexibility. It is an extreme defensive stance most useful when the Monk needs to survive overwhelming incoming damage.
Mechanics
While Mental Strength is active:
- DEF is fixed at 50 (replaces all other DEF sources, pre-renewal)
- MDEF is fixed at 50 (replaces all other MDEF sources, pre-renewal)
- ASPD is reduced by 25%
- All skill usage is blocked, with exceptions noted below
- Movement speed is forced to 200 ms per cell (slowest possible)
Skill usage exceptions (require Tempered Will to be learned):
If the Monk has Tempered Will at any level, the following skills may still be used during Mental Strength:
If the Tempered Will buff is also active at the same time, movement speed returns to normal.
The cast cannot be interrupted by damage.
Leveling Table
| Level | Duration |
|---|---|
| 1 | 30 s |
| 2 | 60 s |
| 3 | 90 s |
| 4 | 120 s |
| 5 | 150 s |
Notes
- Mental Strength consumes all 5 spirit spheres on activation. Ensure spheres are topped up before casting.
- The SP cost of 200 is fixed regardless of level.
- While the fixed DEF/MDEF of 50 sounds low, it completely resists piercing/ignore-DEF effects that would otherwise bypass armor entirely.
- At level 5, the 150-second duration makes it viable for absorbing prolonged dungeon hazards.
