-100% channeling

/Fox - Harshlands152

its only fair that we get -100% channeling as melee classes have 5aps........right?

I think so b:pleased

-100% chan doesn't exist, it will drop to -90% after going over -99%. -99% is the biggest amount of -chan you can get.

-99% chan isn't comparable to 5 aps in PvE and in PK you would be really squishy.

-100% chan compared to 5aps is still better than not having it..it cant be to hard for them to implement it into the game.

Even as a sin, I agree that casters deserve something better than -chan... b:surrender
On my cleric I don't notice a thing with little bits of -chan gear. On my sin (and even my PvP axe barb) I notice even -.05 int. The two are meant to balance each other out, but they do a poor job of it.

Methinks that there should be more -chan out there and that it should cut off cast time too to make it more equal. b:shutup

-chan should reduce cooldown, and reduce mana requirement of skills.

There. It's now balanced with 5.0 APS.

-chan making cooldown + reducing mana requirements of skills would be awsome. maybe if -chan made the battle animations for skills faster it would be better

lol 5 casts per second without using mana. There you go.

-100% channel results in an equation that divides by zero and destroys the universe.

interval results in an asymptotic function, but you would need 4 more -.05 int modifiersbeyond the hard cap to reach infinite APS. [perhaps destroying the universe.]

I'll remember never to use those zero channelling apoth pots else i'll get blamed from destroying the universe! b:cry

b:chuckle

On a more serious note,

Channel time and interval are both inversely proportional (the more you have, the less time between two points in time). -Int is just far more useful in that auto-attack is more detrimental than the channeling time of spells. Think of it this way, if you consider a normal physical attack as a "spell," then -int lowers the animation, cooldown, and cast time of the normal attack "spell" and -.05 int is far more than -3% chan in this hypothetical example

I say all things that are -3% should be upped to -6% and all things that are -6% should be upped to -12% (since there is more gear with -chan than -int out there.) Also, -chan should reduce animation and cooldown time as well.

haha doubling the -% chan would be really helpful..and hopefully help to balance out the difference from -int and -%chan.

(i am /Fox\ btw, i switched chars cuz /Fox\ is bugged for forums).

I'd hate that kind of channeling only because of how many glitches and character animation troubles that occur just from over -40 channeling, especially combined w/demon spark.
