LU23 Test Cleric AA change?

[Dra]

<div></div>"- Cleric: Divine Recovery's casting speed benefit has been changed to 50% instead of 100%."Is this just a text change to the AA description or did someone actually modify the benefit? Because I don't think anyone had any problems with the benefit, just misunderstandings of what 100% meant.<div></div>

Have not noticed if there was any change to the effect, just mostly a text change to what it was really doing. So nope, no nerfing here..nothing to see...move along.

It can't just be a text change.  If it was, every AA that affects recast/casting times would be listed there, because they all use the formula that makes 100% cut recast/casting times in HALF.If they say they're changing it from 100% to 50%, you have to plug the new # into the formula they use for casting and recast times:    (Cast time / Recast time) / (1 + %reduced)Pre-patch at 100% its (using 4s as an example):  4 / (1 + 1.0) = 2s (the way it works now.Post patch at 50%:  4 / (1 + 0.5) = 2.66sI'd suggest to the person on Test who posted above me to do some more in-depth testing, because this really sounds like a nerf to me, not a 'display bug fix.'<div></div>

<P>Please somebody check into this.  I originally thought the same thing and dismissed Fennir but after investigating I found this is correct.  I didn't belive it because I refused to belive there was this silly forumula being used when they used the % sign on the display.</P> <P>Since there is not a "display only" clause on this, Clerics truly are getting this ability reduced.  The question is whether this is intended or a misunderstanding of the forumla being used and reacting to complants it was previously only doing 50%.</P> <P>For the love of Marr SOE, either remove the % sign since it isn't a real percentage or convert it when you display the value in the UI.  The current method is false advertising and only contributes to confusion.</P> <P>As it is I am going to change my macro to /gsay reducing casting timers by x/(1+.5) or 50% in the SOE new math universe.</P>

<P>Oh great, there we go bringing math into it all *scratches head and gives the pondering emote* From the sounds of things it is possible that there is indeed a drop in the effect of it. </P> <P>I will do some more indepth checking on this as my first reply was early in the morning before full brain functions have been established. </P> <P>My findings were based on a quick run with lots of chaos and no REAL time to actually say that it was *thoroughly* checked. My mistake I know...was just trying to humor it up a bit.</P> <P>From the discussions on the Inquisitor forums and talk on the server. It seems as if they never intended it to be a full 100% effect and changed things to more accurately show proper intentions.</P> <P>I will ask the QA tonight when I log in to see what I can find out.</P>
