I think MotA is one of the most underrated caster RA's

 

[old.Niljindil]

Faster cast = teh winz imo

 

[Stallion-]

waste and barly noticable afaik... dont actully know how ie my casting time is... with 313 dex...(capped? (dunno)) cap is 2 seconds...

Disenchanting Eruption - 2.5s
Empower Heat/Matter/Cold - 2.0s
Greater Aura of Reverberation - 2.5s
Aurora Blast - 2.6s
Prismatic Strobe - 2.5s
Insidious Rapture - 2.8s

most usual spells that fotm chanters use are :
Aurora Blast (Base Nuke), Prismatic Strobe (Base Stun), and Disenchanting Eruption (Specc PBAE)... all of these spells are over the 2.0 casting cap wich means they WILL take advantage of Firstly your current Dexterity... wich will reduce your casting time and THEN your RAs... dont know how much the dex actully lower your casting time but im pretty sure its verry close to cap @ the 2.5-2.6s spells... (will try this out asap I get my comp working again). And with the new buff caps comming with casters over 350 dex.. I dont think MotA is or will be any good use to a caster.. when theres alot of other high utility stuff to get out there...

 

[Tranquil-]

I can assure you that the cap is not 2 secs.

MotA is underrated indeed.

 

[Stallion-]

swing cap is 1.5...
casting cap is 2 secs.... as far as I knowwwwwwwwwww!

atleast I dont feel any difference on the debuff spells buffed or unbuffed...

you can get below 2.0 secs if you test it, get fully buffed and take a log of 20 secs constant nuking with lowlvl spells, then do some maths and see. A chanter in the us apparently had a castingspeed of 0.9'ish secs on a nuke. How he did it I dunno. Was a log on vnboards somewhere.

There is no 2 sec cap, i thought that was common knowledge

With top buffs i have 1,84 sec cast time with my aoe mez, which is 3 sec base. My baseline mez is far far faster and noticable to the eye too.

I got mota2, gonna get 3 asap.

its common knowledge that there is a 2 sec cap... _but_ maybe its also common knowledge that it can ger lower with MotA...

 

[Qte Eth]

bout time to find out tho

 

[boni_ofdavoid]

2 seconds is a myth.

this is a test I did, quite approximate but proves a point...

casting Debuff energy (2sec cast time spell)
308 dex
Mota (think II though it might have been I)
24 debuffs in 30 seconds.

 

[vulcan1]

If I remember right Tyka did a great test and posted results on these boards thats takes casting speed below 2 secs cap.
Cant find the thread on serch though, but MOTA is VERY underated, with spell stacking I go below 2 secs fully buffed.

Serenity 2

MCL2

MOTA 2

MOM 5

WP 4

AOM 2

AA

and a few oddments

there is no casting time cap

i have 315 dex maxed and MotA3 - and believe me it makes a huge difference

so yes - get MotA (at least lvl 2) asap
most importnat passive RA for chanters is prolly WP - would get it to 3 asap (insane rate on crits when pbing - also nice for dds ofc)

 

[Tyka]

Mota 1 is good for everyone.

Mota 2 is good for people who usually cast spells that delve above 2.0 sec.

Mota 3 is good for people who usually cast spells that delve 3.0 sec or above, ie bards/void elds and other crap

If you cast a spell that delves 2.0 (nearsight/debuff/etc) the game gives you diminishing returns especially when you have good buffs and high mota, so you wont notice the 3% decrease in casting.

In short just get mota1 if you're a light caster that have not capped 300 dex, if you're a bard/druid or any other caster that have spells that cast above 3.0 sec and your dex does not reach 300, get mota and possibly 3, depending on wich RR you're.

*awaits niljis lecture about what Sanya told him about the game mechanics, etc etc*

 

[Amadon]

got MotA2 on my chanter, MotA1 on my eld, 303 dex on eld, 298 on chanter

difference is very noticeable to me on baseline light nuke (only spell i use that's comparable between them )

edit: and I cast baseline light nuke well below 2 sec on my chanter

 

[Stallion-]

fu all, now I gotta get MotA ://

 

[taponzin]

in the next patch u will no hav cap on dex
