*Since Chi Blast is affected by MND, it may be a good idea to macro in equipment that increases that stat before use.
==Chi Blast Damage Formula==
The damage formula for Chi Blast is as follows:
DMG = floor( floor( MND × Rand ) × ( #Boost × BoostIncrease% + 1 ) )
*MND is the player's MND stat
*Rand is a game determined number between 0.5 to 1.0, represented to least to 10-bit precision
*Boost is the number of times the player has boosted
*BoostIncrease% is the percentage increase in Chi Blast damage given by each Boost usage. This is always 4 times the percentage increase in Attack given by Boost, so without any enhancing gear Boost will give +12.5% Attack and +50% BoostIncrease%.
