Intresting diffrence between Pwi client and other pw clients, with casting

[R3DSKULL]

I have noticed with the pwi client, that there is for casters only channeling, which in the other pw clients other than pwi have 2 variations for bonuses. Chanting and casting.

On the lofty exceed set there is in pwi only 1 bonus channeling/chanting.

On the same set for other clients, the bonuses are split. Casting time is the more common bonus % where as the set bonus is -3% chanting/channeling

also the virgin angel/savant stones give

-6% chanting on other pw
-3% channeling on pwi

What ive also discovered while playing with the pwi client is that the elementskill.dll is out of sync with the server so when you get skills you need to log off for any skills to show the first time. Also the skill animations are wrong. I.e. The wizard/mage stone barrier skill shows as the EA's fire buff with a red animation on hand instead of shields. I switched the elementskill.dll from an a client that works and now i have no issues with incorrect animations or having to logoff for skills. but i found another anomoly which is the nature of this post.

if you get more than 75% channeling speed. I.e. 76% and you demon spark your spark animation no longer works, this ive discoverd is that when the channeling/chanting time exceeds 100% the skill goes off instantly without any time to even show. But here is the wierd thing. The skill shows on the old pwi elementskill.dll so what is causing this in the animations idk

But thus far the elementskill.dll fix works to correct problems and i doubt unless customed out many people will exceed 100% chanting/channeling. I dont know if this works on clients other than pwi, as the difference between the chanting/channeling and casting bonuses could effect this glitch casting.

Anyone elses experiences with this or input would be appreciated.

They are actualy the same only with diffrent names.And the stone of savant gives -3 chanting time not -6 on official servers.Try put 100% casting time on your EQ and use both clients and you will see the MG is as fast on PWI as on MS.There is no diffrence at all.

yes i understand the names are different but there is more. the part with the elementskill.dll and also your not taking in account.

chanting/channeling as i stated are same
but casting time is not

the pwi items have only channeling/chanting

the pw other versions have bonuses of mostly casting time.

lofty exceed wrists for example. -6% casting time set bonus with 2 items is -3% chanting

on pwi

lofty wrists have -6% channeling/chanting and set bonus of 2 items is -3% channeling.

now ive tested this on non pwi servers the chanting does not drop with casting time bonuses. But on pwi client the channeling/chanting drops and speeds up. So there is a difference more than the words. The way the stats work there seems to be a big difference. Otherwise the pwi would say casting aswel as channeling. Not just channeling

Thanks for the info. Its great to finally have the correct animations for skills and not have to relog when learning skills. About the no spark animation with high channeling I found that others can see the animation but the caster cannot.

96-99% casting means no animation.

-100% and it will slow down to the equalivient of -90%

thanks robb thats good to know :)

i am still curious about the fact that pwi uses all channeling/chanting bonuses
but the rest use casting bonuses and why the difference.

some say its just the way its written but im pretty sure its not. pwi seems to do things a little differently

Excuse me for bringing this up, but I would like to know how much -casting effect the 3-Fury does? I've seen zero-casters do burst then cast their skills with no to little animation.

Does anybody here know the Add-on ID's ?? I need them ....

It is supposed to do -25%

Simply means, you'll be needing around -74% on gears and compensate the remaining 25 on burst.

Thanks.
