I didn't think fast cast had a cap....hmmph

The actual effect has no cap, but there is a global casting and recast reduction cap of 80%. Grimiores can break the casting and recast caps and chainspell/spontaneity/quickmagic bypass them completely.

1 combat skill = how much acc?

copied from bgwiki
The contribution of Skill to accuracy

Equation (Skill ≤ 200): Accuracy from Skill = Skill
Equation (200 ≤ Skill ≤ 400): Accuracy from Skill = floor( (Skill - 200)×0.9 ) + 200
Equation (400 ≤ Skill ≤ 600): Accuracy from Skill = floor( (Skill - 400)×0.8 ) + 380
Equation (600 ≤ Skill): Accuracy from Skill = floor( (Skill - 600)×0.9 ) + 540

TL;DR: from 0-200, you get 1 acc: 1 skill
200-400, .9 acc: 1 skill
400-600, .8 acc: 1 skill
600+ .9 acc: 1 skill


My turn to ask a question: can someone backcheck this skillchain? Liberator is getting close to done and I'm seeing what skillchain I can do and I think I found a 5step

Cross Reaper> Insurgency = Fusion > Entropy = Gravitation > Cross Reaper = Darkness > Quietus = Double Darkness

?

Does anyone know a trick to display damage dealt in the new dual window chat log, or am I missing a basic setting?

I'm having trouble displaying damage done in the chat log while using the new two window setup. This is without any chat modifying addons or plugins. As soon as I switch back to one window, damage begins to display in the log again. I'm specifically wanting to display it in the log rather than over the mob's head.

If you're using macros + text files to swap gear in/out, how do you differentiate between two pieces with same names but different augs?

ie: I want my jse cape with bp delay for one situation, the other jse cape for another situation

Gearswap can do this
Code
HagondesHat_PMACC = {name="Hagondes Hat",augments={"Phys. dmg. taken -4%","Pet: Mag. Acc.+22"}}
HagondesHat_MACC = {name="Hagondes Hat",augments={"Mag. Acc.+24","Phys. dmg. taken -3%"}}
HagondesHat_MATK = {name="Hagondes Hat",augments={"Mag.Atk.Bns.+29","Phys. dmg. taken -3%"}}
HagondesHat_PATK = {name="Hagondes Hat",augments={'Phys. dmg. taken -3%','Pet: Attack+23 Pet: Rng.Atk.+23'}}
HagondesHat_PACC = {name="Hagondes Hat",augments={'Phys. dmg. taken -3%','Pet: Accuracy+23 Pet: Rng.Acc.+23'}}
HagondesHat_PMATK = {name="Hagondes Hat",augments={"Phys. dmg. taken -4%","Pet: Mag.Atk.Bns.+20"}}


I guess since you're asking about non-gearswap, I don't think you really can? Unless the in-game gear sets let you do it?

Weike Torque or Voltsurge Torque for enfeebles?

Don't have Imbodla Necklace, I guess that would be best for potency, but what about those?

Weike torque by a mile for "enfeebling magic", for straight Macc voltsurge (it's even for macc, but fastcast is nice). If Macc isn't an issue, Aife's Medal is great for potency for all enfeebles that have variable potency.

In game gearsets can differentiate between two identical rings without issue. (Something that /equip would derp on.)
So it should have no issue with augmented identical items.
I can't speak from experience with augmented items... But nonaugmented ones work with gearsets.
(Iirc it remembers the placement of the item in your box when looking for it.)

Does the wsd +5 for Sandung only count for mainhand? Or does it still count when you sub it?

It works in the offhand.

Hmm. Question, this is relevant to my interests:
It's been SIX months since this *** posted... I happened to look on a whim, and here's my question.
Third person who's mentioned this, find it hard to believe square would actually ban it's only remaining white knight.

Hmm... Draylo's posting frequency decreased precipitously at the end of November, which was when SE handed out a bunch of 3P-usage bans. He has posted only once in the last month. Might be banned, or might just be taking a break.

he was banned, yea(a less than credible source was saying it was for recall duping, what were the 3pp bans for?)

he immediately made new characters with almost the same names

3P bans were in order to gently massage away JP butthurt over their otherwise impotent stance on 3P usage. The JP OF had a raging thread going on for a month or so when they figured out salvage duping = 3 day ban. It expanded into a general anti-botting/3P campaign, so in December SE went back through and banned some people that had a few reports piled up probably with no further investigation.

Hmm I've been using third party programs for a while now, is it mainly the ones who were doing really obvious stuff like the salvage thing?

I do not know exactly what for. I think they temped my mule for Bidder usage, but it took them more than 3 days to tell me they could not tell me why they banned him and then I stopped caring.

Forgive a potentially dumb question but with pdt/idle sets on my mage mule. Is idling in a Estaff + 119 gear and e.staff with 119 pdt gear hurting me over using a Ilvl weapon/ilvl shield?

As a mage mule, EStaff will be the easiest to get to 50% PDT. However if you want to farm it up and gear it more, you can use Bolelabunga/Genbu Shield and try for 4 PDT on a all of the Hagondes set and fill in the rest with other gear.

Any precise way to calculate attack speed, time between attacks, or something of the like? I'm wanting to do gear haste tests on my avatar, but with haste differences as low as like 2-5% it can be difficult to tell if they are actually attacking faster.

I was curious if there was a way to calculate the attack speed/delay, like through the chat log or something.

Don't wear any Avatar DA gear and find a very durable target, then let them melee it for as long as possible.

(Time from first hit to last hit) / (Number of swings-1) = delay

I suppose that's the best way to go about it if there's no other methods. Gonna need something that lives long enough, and maybe run the test a couple times...

Thanks.

Dunno if SMN would be doing too much damage (maybe drop the Seraphicaller and ilv weapon?), but I liked using Kurma when testing player haste. High PDT when not casting and he regens fairly strongly.
