How is the aggdef bar divided up?

[Mharc]

The aggdef bar seems to have a 'stepped', rather than a linear characteristic. When I run at full agg, my heals cast instantly, whereas when I move down the aggdef slider even 1 tick, they slow down noticably. Does anyone know into how many intervals the bar is divided?

Also, while we're on the subject, does anyone have exact numbers as to how the bar setting affects speed? I'm sure it's been posted before, but I'm kinda lazy right now

Nano execution and aggdef bar:

0% = +1s atk time
1-99% = +-0s atk time
100% = -1s atk time

Rch time is never affected, by ini or by aggdef bar

Weapon and aggdef bar (AFAIK):
87.5% = listed atk/rch times
each 1/8s step = + (or - for 100%) 0.25s/0.25s
(so it is one step up to -0.25/-0.25, or max 7 steps down to +1.75/+1.75)

Not 100% certain whether there are more steps than eight or not. But that is the general outlining for weapon & aggdef bar.

Thanks for the reply!

So, am I correct in understanding that if you wanna go def, it's better to go one tick higher than full def for a full second faster nano execution?

Yup

Is Initiative applied before or after defagg modifier?

IE: Have a 2.5/2.5 weapon to consider.

Case 1: If initiative is applied after defagg modifier
Wtih defagg on 100% defensive, this should make it 4.25/4.25.
With 900 in weapon initiative, this becomes 2.65/1.25.

Case 2: If initiative is applied before defagg modifier
Initiative of 900 makes weapon 1/1.
Defagg on 100% defensive makes it 2.75/2.75.

Also, is 1/1 weapon cap applied after all calculations, or it applies to each individual calculation?
2nd case looks different if 1/1 comes in the end of all calculations:
Initiative 900 makes weapon 1/-0.5
Defagg on 100% defensive makes it 2.75/1.25
