As far as I can tell The casting focus property simply allows you ignore an interupt while spellcasting X % of the time. The highest attainable values for Casting Focus appear to be
HUMAN = Casting Focus 3 % (Protector of the Battle Mage <leather Tunic>)
GARGOYLE = Casting Focus 7% (Mantle of the Fallen 3% / Obsidian Earrings 4%)
What I was thinking was this... Should the Casting Focus percentage STACK on each interupt until a successful cast? For instance if you have 3% Casting Focus & are interupted When you again try to cast a spell I'm thinking you should have a 6% chance to not be interupted & if your interutped AGAIN a 9% etc... These values should probably reset within a certain period of time as well ... Say maybe 1 Minute to avoid possible abuse.. (Tbox spammed until you reach 100% ability to cast your next spell or some such) This makes the difference between 3% Casting Focus BASE and say the 7% Casting focus a Gargoyle can acheive much much bigger...
(Human with 3% Casting Focus)
*STARTS Casting Spell*
3% chance to avoid interuption
*Takes dmg & spell is interupted*
*STARTS Casting another Spell*
3% Casting Focus Stacks becoming 6% chance to avoid interuption
*Takes dmg & spell is interupted*
3% Base Casting Focus Stacks again becoming 9% etc.. to avoid interuption
*Takes dmg & 9% Casting focus roll succeeds allowing spell to cast*
*Casting Focus Resets to 3% Base Value since you just cast a spell without interupt*
IF you had a Gargoyle with 7% the Values would be
7% chance to avoid 1st interuption
14% Chance to avoid 2 interuption
21% etc.....
This makes Casting focus USEFUL IMO.. thoughts?
