Rostrum Pumps/Loq. Earring/Fastcast Gear

I wonder if Raise is considered a 'cure' and therefore subject to the cure cast merits.

Doesn't it give enhancing magic skillups?

Yah, Raise is enhancing magic. Coincidently, so is Warp. =)

Pretty Sure Raise is Healing Magic...having capped it Raise III'ing people after Dynamis >.>

Correct. If you're thinking of a "healing" spell that counts as Enhancing Magic, it's Erase or Regen.

Thank God I'm not going bat shit crazy...lol I was like I swear it's healing magic...I capped it from Dynamis...am I getting that old...

Yah, you're right. Its been too long... I just remember seeing a bunch of spells having a weird skill associated with them and I thought Raise was one of them.

The game rounds haste up. There are no decimals in the recast seconds. Homam should be 1.5% on recast.

.015 x 60 seconds = .9 seconds, rounds up to 1 second.

Since Homam Pants have 3% Haste on them~ 3%(Haste) + 1.5%(Fast Cast) = 4.5%

.045 x 60 seconds = 2.7 seconds, rounds up to 3 seconds. Which gives you the 57 second recast you're noticing.

According to your results the recast on Raise /w Loq. Earring is 58 seconds... 2 seconds off recast. That would mean the recast is between 1.7% ~ 3.3%. Using both Homam Pants + Loq. Earring you had a recast of 56 seconds. 3%(Homam Haste) + 1.5% (Homam Recast) + x% (Loq. Recast)... 0.6% ~ 2.1% make that work. Combining both tests, you know the value is between 1.7% ~ 2.1%... which means it's probably 2% recast.

While the recast doesn't show fractions of seconds to next recast, I'm almost positive that it actually does allow for fractional time internally. I'd asume its truncated to one or two decimal places (or w/e resolution the servers base everything on). It may be an issue of lag, but it seems that repeatably you can see either a longer or shorter delay before the seconds tick down for the first time (eg recast ticks from 59 to 58s almost as soon as the spell completes vs a second later).

If you want to get really technical, its probably something like 1.6% and 3.2% because SE does these types of calculations using binary. It's really hard to say, though.

4/255 and 7/255 in all likelihood.

this is 1.56 and 2.74 although 8/255 (3.13) is possible too.

all of these would fit the numbers presented.

likewise: since most of the game's timing appears to be based on a 60Hz RTC serverside, I'd imagine that the resolution on recast is 1/60th of a second.

whether SE floors to whole seconds is something that would be exceedingly difficult to check client side, since server-client trust times in this game are significantly higher than 500ms. (the minimum resolution that I'd accept for determining fractions of seconds with any reliability.)
