Mastery of the Art in this case

With buffers it would most likely be Mastery of the Arcane.

kicks ass, basically got lvl 3 myself, those who play with me will vouch for how much it rawks

 

[Hit ^_^]

enha 50 buffs?

 

[old.Ramas]

So what was the time per cast before MotA 3?

 

[old.Wildfire]

([result time]/97)*100 for mota 2

repeat for mota 1 and no mota

in short: slower, just like it says on the tin

 

[Xeanor]

MotA3 = +90 dex for casting

Has this been tested by anyone though - or are you getting this from the documentation?

And is the reduction by level additive or multiplicative?

And is it 3% of of time after or before dex reduction.

Ie. Do we mean 0.91 x mota0_time

Or 0.97^3 x mota0_time

Or (0.97^3 x delve_cast_time) - (dex_haste_effect)

If multiplicative and calculated after dex then it's 16pts (6 pts for acuity 3, plus 10 for mota3) to get to turn a 1.348 cast time into 1.23.

If multiplicative and before dex than this test suggests it improves a 1.448 to 1.23 - which is obviously a more substantial gain.

Both the calculations above are based on the assumption that it really is 3%, and we only have the documentations's word for that.

Not saying it isn't worthwhile or anything, but if it is just 3% per level, and calculated after dex, it does sound like a lot of RSPs unless you need Acuity 3 for something else as well.

 

[old.Wildfire]

this is true, i just took a wild (and very basic) guess at what it probably is, there are various ways you could calculate it

 

[Pin]

reduction is additive per level of mota. and multiplicative with the dex reduction.


And if you are fully buffed all the time, aug dex 2 + mota 2 gives more benefit for less cost than mota3

 

[Aussie-]

dunno what else i should take

yes 50 buffbot :|

[Subbiz]

you LIE aussie, HARD CAP is 2 sec!!!!!!!

and also, chain wearers does NOT get affected by dex, ITS THE TRUF! CAMELOTHERALD SAYS SO!

oh and if not mentioned, to the sorcs of alb that doesnt know,

using quickcast makes your cast time slower compared to non-qc with uber dex and mota ^^

common knowledge to some, but not to all.. just thought Id point that out so ppl dont waste their good cast times.

Well, MotArt3 will cost 6 points for 3% gain buffed or unbuffed.

Aug Dex I + II will cost 4 points for 3.8% gain starting at 331dex.
Aug Dex I + II will cost 4 points for 2.5% gain starting at 176dex.

Try with some other spell too?

 

[Belomar]

Any new tests coming up?

Would like to see how fast you would cast before mota 1, 2 and 3.

According to my own tests, there are diminishing returns when your dex is above 300 and mota the difference is almost unnoticable with dex above 300 and mota 2 - 3, especially when casting a spell that delves in 2.0 sec.

As a saracen with high base dex you can get easily high above 300 dex, wich means that mota above 2-3 does not do much for spells that casting delves under 2.5 sec.

Not saying that mota3 aint good but i dont think the difference between 2 and 3 is as much as they say when it comes to spells that delves for 2.5 sec or below.

Oh and its definetly not mota 1 = 30 dex etc etc, maybe if you had 100 dex and raised mota that way.

as an avalonian (eek) i love MotA helps me get those mezzes away!

 

[tildson]

How is the CT with mota1, mota3 and no mota?

How is the CT with spells 3s/2.5s/2s?


Would be very interesting how it affect spells at 2.5s and below that. Nice CT overall though!
