Ok so I decided to do some testing, but let me give you some background info.
A good friend of mine named Aegresco recently left the game. Him and I were both 75 whms with the same basic gear. The only difference is where I was all MP+ he was all MND+. Well when my dear friend left the game he left me an Aqua ring. I couldn't sell it as it was a parting gift from him. So I decided to follow in his footsteps and become a mnd whm. Keeping in mind that I am a taru so mp doesnt go to waist.
So this evening I make my last few purchases for whm. A steppe rope, 2 geist earrings and an Enlightened Torque. The torque was purely a last minute decision as I am also lvling blm and figured that there was no reason to waste 500k on an intellect torque when at lvl 60 I could wear the enlightened chain.
So I make my purchase and proceed to ask my linkshell, "what do you think is better, my healing torque (healing magic +7) or my Enlightened torque (INT+3 MND+2). Now heres where they all get a little silent. My dear friend Eiteen says that he thinks Aegresco had mentioned before quitting that Skill takes you to the cap and mnd takes you over it (of course of this he was not sure). So I do what any good red-blooded ff player would do... I decide to test it out!
Now in my first test I used myself and an abundance of venom pots and tried with a cure 3. With the healing torque, cure 3 hits for 216. Next test with the Enlightened Chain Cure 3 hits for 216. "Well hmmmm" I think to myself.
At this time my friend Goldenboy walks by. Well hes a paladin with alot of hp so lets try it with a cure V. As he proceeds to kill himself off with venom pots I ready my Healing Torque. BAM Cure V hits for 817. Ok, can I break for the story here to say wow, I never noticed my cure 5 did that much! Anyway back to the story, he sucks down more venom pots and I ready my Enlightened Chain. BAM Cure V hits for 819. Now wait a min... No difference on cure 3 but amazingly enough that cure 5 did 2 more with 2 more mind.
My theory's:
Cure V is only cure spell effected by mnd+
Cure V is increased in potency by mnd (i.e. +4 mnd would give you +4 points)
Possibly the Cures cap off in strength at certain levels of mind, hence why my higher lvl cure would still be effected by increases of mind.
Now I may be stupid here, but I decided to post this here to get some feedback. Is this fact already known? Does my theory sound correct? Am I loosing my mind? Please fellow qcdn'ers discuss!!
Oh I did take screenshots but I am way to tired to mess with getting them up, if someone demands proof I will provide it.
