A few weeks ago, the maximum number of levels that could be put into each RDM Tier II spell was increased from 3 to 5 levels.
Meaning Phalanx II with 271 Enhancing Magic skill (256 Base + 15 from AF legs), fully upgraded to level 5 can achieve a 4 Minute duration and 26 damage reduction. While Phalanx I reduces 25 damage with the same skill.
With my current Enhancing Magic skill of 294 (8/8 Merits, AF legs, Enhancing Torque), Phalanx II reduces 27, With Phalanx I reducing the same amount of damage.
Edited to include: Enhancing Magic Calculator
This is where i got the formula for damage reduction based on Enhancing Magic skill.
