Looking for FC/FCR effects on Bushido and Chivalry

[Deception]

Hello all -

I'm hoping some people in this forum have specific information on the effects of faster casting and faster casting recovery on bushido and chivalry spells.

I'm not sure how they benefit bushido abilities at all - For stances, does only the FCR help?

And on chivalry - I need to know the FC formula and the spell levels of each spell. The spells I am mostly concerned with are consecrate weapon, close wounds, cleanse by fire, and remove curse. I am trying to tweak a suit, and need to know the appropriate amount of FC to try to incorporate.

Thanks in advance

On Test Center today I've collected sample data of casting speeds for
paladin spells. Spells were cast in succession 20 times, and the time taken
to do that was measured. This was repeated for multiple fast-cast and
fast-cast-recovery rates.

When examining the sample rates, a simple algorithm emerged:



Cast Delay = (SpellLevel - FC) / 4 <min 0.5>
Recovery Delay = (7 - FCR) / 4


Here is a table of spell levels:


2: Dispel Evil
3: Consecrate Weapon, Enemy of One
4: Holy Light
5: Divine Fury, Cleanse By Fire
7: Noble Sacrifice, Close Wounds, Remove Curse, Sacred Journey


Each FC/R level acts to decrease the Delay by one fourth of a second
(0.25). There are some interesting things about this algorithm.


First, the cast Delay has a minimum value of half a second (0.5). As a
result, casting Dispel Evil for example, is not influenced at all by FC 1+.
Consecrate Weapon and Enemy of One will benefit from FC 1, but not FC 2+.

I am not aware if the recovery Delay has a minimum value, as to test that I
would need an FCR 6 suit. I don't have such a suit. src="/php-bin/shared/images/icons/wink.gif">


Secondly, it is interesting to note that the recovery Delay is not at all
influenced by the spell level. At 0 FCR, the recovery Delay will always be
1.75 seconds ((7 - 0) / 4). Also, for non-target spells, the recovery Delay
is not applied if you fizzle; you can fizzle dispel evil two times a
second, but once you succeed, you must wait another 1.75 seconds before
trying to cast again.


Here's a table detailing the casting Delays:


-3 FC -2 FC -1 FC 0 FC 1 FC 2 FC 3 FC 4 FC 5 FC 6 FC
Dispel Evil 1.25 1.00 0.75 0.50 0.50 0.50 0.50 0.50 0.50 0.50
Consecrate Weapon 1.50 1.25 1.00 0.75 0.50 0.50 0.50 0.50 0.50 0.50
Enemy of One 1.50 1.25 1.00 0.75 0.50 0.50 0.50 0.50 0.50 0.50
Holy Light 1.75 1.50 1.25 1.00 0.75 0.50 0.50 0.50 0.50 0.50
Divine Fury 2.00 1.75 1.50 1.25 1.00 0.75 0.50 0.50 0.50 0.50
Cleanse By Fire 2.00 1.75 1.50 1.25 1.00 0.75 0.50 0.50 0.50 0.50
Noble Sacrifice 2.50 2.25 2.00 1.75 1.50 1.25 1.00 0.75 0.50 0.50
Close Wounds 2.50 2.25 2.00 1.75 1.50 1.25 1.00 0.75 0.50 0.50
Remove Curse 2.50 2.25 2.00 1.75 1.50 1.25 1.00 0.75 0.50 0.50
Sacred Journey 2.50 2.25 2.00 1.75 1.50 1.25 1.00 0.75 0.50 0.50


One thing we can see from this is that there is no benefit past 5 FC for
even the highest level spells.

Also, a table of the recovery Delays: Note, this assumes no minimum
recovery Delay


0 FCR 1 FCR 2 FCR 3 FCR 4 FCR 5 FCR 6 FCR 7 FCR
Recovery Delay 1.75 1.50 1.25 1.00 0.75 0.50 0.25 0.00

Thank you very much for that info - not sure why I never stumbled across it.

Anyone have any info on bushido?

I don't believe FC/FCR has any affect on Bushido spells. Not that I'm aware of anyway.

I'm positive FCR affects bushido spells. I'm not 100% sure about FC though, however having 4 fc for confidence does feel faster.
