Composure Testing

[[Cookies]]

Composure approximately triples the duration of enhancing magic, increases the recast of all spells by 25% and provides +15 Accuracy. Composure only works on buffs that you cast on yourself, it CAN be cancelled and doesn't work with Protect/Shell/Reraise.

Composure recast penalty testing:

Utsusemi: Ni naked (Fast Cast 3)

Original: 40 seconds recast.
Composure: 50 seconds recast.

Erase naked (Fast Cast 3)

Original: 13 seconds recast.
Composure: 16 seconds recast.

Reraise with Warlock's Chapeau (Fast Cast 3)

Original: 50 seconds recast.
Composure: 63 seconds recast.

Composure is a 25% recast penalty on all spells.

Composure Accuracy bonus testing:

Acc boost appears to be a flat +15.

DC Flamingo:

250 Sword, 72 DEX, +26 Acc = even.
250 Sword, 72 DEX, +27 Acc = low eva.

250 sword, 72 DEX, +11 Acc, Composure = even.
250 sword, 72 DEX, +12 Acc, Composure = low eva.

T Groundskeeper:

250 Sword, 72 DEX, +42 Acc = even.
250 Sword, 74 DEX, +42 Acc = low eva.


250 Sword, 72 DEX, +27 Acc, Composure = even.
250 Sword, 74 DEX, +27 Acc, Composure = low eva.

Enspell 2 Testing done with Joyeuse and 256 Enhancing Magic Skill (Enblizzard II):

17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 11, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 14, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 34, 34.

Enblizzard damage: 17.

Enspell 2 Testing done with Joyeuse and 271 Enhancing Magic Skill (Enblizzard II):

17, 18, 9, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 34, 34.

Enblizzard damage: 18.

This was tested on Lesser Colibri on Watersday, no weather. Enspell 2 damage increases with every hit. It only procs on the first hit of an attack round with Joyeuse and doesn't appear to proc on offhand swings when dual wielding.

Others have confirmed that Enspell 2 caps at 34 with 301 and 293 Enhancing Magic skill.

Enspell 2 damage is not calculated the same way as Enspell 1. Enhancing Magic skill may not affect it's damage.

55s -> 68s Reraise, 25% ish

[pchan]

refresh 8 min, haste 10 min so more than 3x duration (slightly)

[Darkyrm]

Ive gotten 3x exactly on refresh and enfire, which is good as I was expecting only 2x and recast is somewhat worst that I have hopped but at least not a 50% penalty, now if the Acc boost is really really good Ill be quite satisfied on this side.

Acc boost appears to be a flat +15.

DC Flamingo:

250 Sword, 72 DEX, +26 Acc = even.
250 Sword, 72 DEX, +27 Acc = low eva.

250 sword, 72 DEX, +11 Acc, Composure = even.
250 sword, 72 DEX, +12 Acc, Composure = low eva.

T Groundskeeper:

250 Sword, 72 DEX, +42 Acc = even.
250 Sword, 74 DEX, +42 Acc = low eva.


250 Sword, 72 DEX, +27 Acc, Composure = even.
250 Sword, 74 DEX, +27 Acc, Composure = low eva.

Edit: Recast has been -25% and duration x3 on all buffs I've tried. I've yet to confirm 5m+ buffs, because I got impatient, switched subs (nullifying partial timers) and ran to sky to test Acc.

Thanks Amas, updated the OP, still testing buff durations.

[bombard]

LS member says /sch bumps 25% down to ~15% on recast penalty as well

[Darkyrm]

If its only 15acc its kind of stupid, I was hoping even in the worst assumption a ton more acc boost from the JA -_- pffffff

I don't think people really care about the accuracy at this point. Haste lasting 10 minutes is a big deal.

15 acc is 6m free >.> (equiv of more than x2 sniper+1)

[Amastacia]

Confirm triple duration of Stoneskin, Aquaveil, and Barspells.

Safe to say that it's triple across the board (though haven't confirmed Pro/Shell/Reraise yet).

[Price]

If you cancel Composure do you negate the extra duration of your buffs?

[Raineer]

No.

Also, works on Sneak :D :D :D

[Amastacia]

No.

Also, works on Sneak :D :D :D

Orly?

Bonerbonerboner.

Sneak + Skulker's + Composure should be fun. Will test.

Edit: Pro/Shell do not seem to have triple duration. My log is fucked so I need to re-check, but they 100% wore in far less than 1.5hrs. I think they were normal duration.

2:30 AM now, i'll carry on testing some other stuff tomorrow if others don't first.

[Bdawgbud]

this seems incredibly useful but not so much for melee lol, Long haste is a HUGE deal, makes merit PT significantly easier, and solo even more easier. All in all i am very surprised by this

Wait wait, so is it working on other people?

[LinktheDeme]

this is only self casted right? 10 minute haste duration would practically force red mages to melee since they'd be bored not doing anything else lol.

[Amastacia]

No.

Also, works on Sneak :D :D :D

14 minute Invis says what's up. Awesome.

Edit: Confirmed, Pro/Shell are normal duration.

[Tsuki]

Don't know if this is true or not friend mentioned it on vent, and it could be due to multiple issues.

With composure on Joytoy additional hits did not process, he said he hit the mob 20+ times without it attacking twice and that when he took composure off it started procing right away. he doesn't have any enspell2s yet but I can't confirm if he was using the original enspells or not. if this is true it could be a few different things; the most obvious being that composure nerfs all multihits, less likely that joytoy is broken, or that they somehow fucked up enspell1s+joy. Just speculating, Its late and I haven't got to test anything myself yet so I thought it might be noteworthy for someone else to give it a try.
