Lowers target's physical damage dealt by 5% and magic damage dealt by 10%.
Duration: 15s

— In-game description

Addle is an action unlocked at level 8. It is available for Magical Ranged DPS.

Related traits

•   Enhanced Addle (Lv. 98) - Extends the duration of Addle to 15 seconds.

Notes

• Duration is 10s prior to learning the   Enhanced Addle trait.
• The physical equivalent is   Feint, with the percents for the damage types flipped. The Tank equivalent is   Reprisal which is a point-blank AoE and has a lower cooldown. Most physical ranged DPS lack an enemy damage down ability (except for machinist's   Dismantle), and instead have job-specific but functionally identical AoE abilities that reduce damage taken by themselves and allies.
