Question about Mandies

It does, but it's not a guaranteed way out of the Zzzzz.
 
I've had barsleep cast upon me and I have been put to sleep everytime. Just my experience.
 
I think MND and enhancing magic levels play a role. Plus in parties, you're generally fighting VT-IT++.
They will be even harder to resist.
 
Barsleep seems to cut down on the time you are asleep for, then again I could be wrong.
 
I've yet to see it STOP someone from getting slept, but it can cut the duration. So..cast it just to be sure!
 
Bar status spells don't block the effects, they only shorten the duration. On top of this, they usually only shorten it by 1-2 seconds at best. This is most apparent in dynamsis against the petrification aoe spamming scorpions. Cast bar petrify (whatever its called) and your parties petrify will wear off after about 30 seconds only a couple seconds earlier than everyone else. Best way to block status effects is actually with the matching barelement spell. EG: combat aoe paralyze with barice because paralyze is ice based. Hope that clears things up a little.
 
The only question left is what element is sleep?

I do not know since my blm is level 17 and rdm is lvl 1. Guess I'll have to get blm to 20 and learn it soon.

Edit: barelement spells increase resist to an element so your up your chances of resisting the spell i guess.
 
I'm not sure of the mandy's sleep, but regular blm and rdm sleep and sleepga are dark which there is no barspell for. Bard's lullaby is light which again their is no barspell for unless you count bard's carols. So either way, there's no preventing it.
