Does MIgraine and Arcane conundrum stack? - Guild Wars Forums

Just curious if anyone knows if Migraine and arcane conundrum stack (resulting in a 4x casting time). If so how did u find out?

Yes, and x4 is the max you can stack anti-cast time debuffs. I just tested tonight with some friends. I tried to combo Archane Conundrum and Migraine... of course it worked fine and the 2 second spell came out in 8 seconds. I then tried to combine those two with Concussion (x3 casting time on spell interrupt). Unfortunately, it didn't cause a x12 effect. I tried Concussion then Migraine... instead of x6 effect (making it a 12 second cast on a 2 second spell), it still came out in 8 seconds. So the cap in any combination is always 4x.

I wanted to see if those three skills stacked and whether adding Nature's Renewal would cause all casts to be 24x. o_O No dice. Reversal of Fortune was saved from becoming a three second cast, lol. Plus, I would have made a video of Restore Life's 192 second cast just for kicks.

Actually, Restore Life wouldn't be a 192 second cast because Migraine and Arcane Conundrum don't last 192 seconds. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the casting time of a spell isn't locked in when it first starts to be cast... It is constantly updated if conditions that affect the casting time wear off part way thru the casting.

Arcane and Migraine arent supposed to be stacking, so I'm not sure if you tested correctly but if they are stacking thats a bug or a new update

. Max stacking for casting delays is supposed to be 1.5x
