GEO Observations
GEO observations
So far, with my Geomancy and Handbell capped at 190 at level 60, Geo-Poison appears to be doing 14-15 dmg or so. Not that's it too important of an observation since it's level 60 and all. I'd give more conclusive numbers if I could, but I have no one to brenner with, or to run around with to test on the Corse NM.
Okay so I made a little cheat sheet for Cardinal Chant, can correct it at any time. Added some details for GEO's Elemental Magic-related JA as well.
I've been playing around with your chart, and I'm confused. Casting from any direction never shortens the recast. Maybe it's actually fast cast and not Recast? Also, West side of the mob gives MAB for me, not east.

Should be more consistent with what I've been hearing today.
Hmmm... for some reason I still can't get the Shorten Recast Time to work. I'm kind of leaning toward maybe a translation error and it actually being Fast Cast and not Recast? I dunno. I'll wait a bit more.

Sadly, at my current level, I don't have access to any Fast Cast gear. ; ;
So I'll have to wait until I level up some more, or someone else can do it.

ah okay. I'll be on the lookout for any news on it.
edit: someone else said it was casting speed as well, so it might as well be fast cast.

Well at least I wasn't seeing things then. xD I felt like I may have been casting faster, but I wasn't 100% sure since my longest casting elemental spell atm is Water III.
Okay, so this should be it! Nice to be able to knock this down.

I don't understand how it can be Fast Cast when the effect, theoretically, doesn't go off until the spell actually goes off. So unless SE just plain old lied about that part...

Except that's not how Cardinal Chant works. The effects of Cardinal Chant don't work until the spell lands,that's when the direction is actually determined, it said so in the update notes. So unless the trait can travel though time to know where the target's going to be when the spell lands, it can't apply Fast Cast to that spell.

It was a weird way for SE to describe it, but looking back, it does seem to affect recast.
Hes saying its a catch 22

I'm saying whoever said it was cast time as well as recast, and therefore meaning it grants Fast Cast, is completely wrong. Recast reduction, sure. We can even pretend it's Fast Cast applying to do it (instead of anything else that does the same thing), but it can't apply to the casting time of the spell since the spell's already cast when the effect is determined.
Ah, I see where you're going with this then. So it would be recast reduction after all?
I'm so confused, lol.

I'm confused because it's not shortening the recast on my spells when I cast it from the North. So... I don't even know.
Two evenings of hardcore casting from the south side of mobs in crawler's nest has yielded exactly zero crits...
Has this been officially confirmed yet?

Isn't mcrit just +10 mab x% of the time? Sounds pretty easy to not notice.
That's because Mcrit is basically worthless and way overhyped.
I noticed the crit, but they were pretty anti-climactic.
Unlike the MAB one, the crit one only seemed to have a chance to activate. So it didn't apply to every cast I did.

Before seeing this, a friend was explaining it to me in a garbled fashion... So the bonus is determined which side of the mob you cast from? Whether N/S/E/W; cast from the west for MAB for instance?
Anyone tested chr and mnd equip for buff spell? I'm curious to see if it affect the potency. If no one did i'll try when i get home.
And maybe int increase the potency of debuff.

Yeah, if you cast from the west you get MAB.
Edit:
Also, as previous testing found, if you cast from SW, SE, NE, or NW, you get half the bonus of each direction. For example, SW would be half M crit chance and half MAB.

Is it casting from the west side of the mob, or when facing west??
