Status effect resistance.. also affects how long it lasts if you're caught with one, I think.

What Laranas said.

It does not have anything whatesoever to do with PP regen. The only thing that changes PP regen is your class or your weapon.

Would that say make megid less likely to kill you?

Wheatpenny, I don't know. I would think not, since Megid is a 0HKO attack, and does not inflict a status effect upon you. Unless death is a status effect. I don't know. I'm just guessing.

I would think dying in one smooth hit serves as an abnormal status as short lived as the desired effect may be lol

megid has a chance to kill you if it does damage to you. it must hit you to do damage. you can either ddodge it, or have enough MST to take 0 damage

Basically, newman fortetechers can be pretty much immune to it, but everyone else should fear the hell out of it, STA or not. Only gunner classes get STA bonuses, by the way, with fortegunner at 125% and guntecher and fighgunner at 120%.

//EDIT: Come to think of it, I've evaded it and died before.

Looking at the description for headshot bullet and megid, they both have "incapitate" where the other bullets would have a status effect, so yes - STA does provide some degree of megid protection.

can't you also block megid with enough evasion?

Edit: nvm answered, also http://psupedia.org/index.php?title=Status_Effects listed at the bottom

I have blocked it and died more than once. Pisses me off, so unless it was fixed since Srank LL was released... this is not true.

FYI: Your chances of blocking decrease if your back is facing towards the attack/megid.

Scape doll. There. Who cares about megid. If you want pa fragments that bad run one of the new four s ranks coming out thursday. The original topic was much more interesting....someone i know says stamina helps you attack faster....doesn't seem to work for me though. Another person said it gave them an extra attack swing with regular melee attack. Just what else does stamina do for you?

when I had my dark megaline on I was hit with megid 7 times before I died doing FFF S. Kinda wished I didn't sell it. A level 15 Jarbas killed me yesterday with my gigaline http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif
