Vocal Was Sogolon... - Guild Wars Forums

According to the description of the [above-named] skill,

For 60 seconds, all shouts and chants you use last 20...44...50% longer.

Can anyone tell me if this also works for "I Am The Strongest!", which works not by duration, but number of attacks?

I am at work, and cannot experiment with it.

Thanks!

Vocal's effect amplifies the duration of the shout, nothing more.

fun facts: I am the Strongest actually has a duration; its around 7-8 hrs

(no I did not test this myself, its from the wiki).

In other words, you'll have a 10-hour shout that'll still expire after the normal number of hits.

Dunno but I would be more curious about IAU

Using Vocal of Sogolon can enable you to essentially maintain IAU. VwS causes IAU to last 20 seconds, thus matching its 20sec recharge at max norn rank. It's very helpful with running with a para.

"I Am The Strongest!" is theoretically limitless even though it has such a giant duration. I think the duration thing is a bug, it should have been coded like signet of strength for example but the duration is so big it doesn't even matter.

So, in summary, the skill will not cause I Am the Strongest to increase the number of hits...

shucks

Ofc. not why would it, it explicitly says it increases the duration.. nothing else.

is it worth taking for SY? I always wondered that.

Only primary warriors or ritualists could do that, as SY is a warrior skill. SY spammers are paragons and they can already keep it up almost all the time.

Probably not.

You can't attak to gain adrenaline while holding a pot, and VWS has a 30 second cooldown. It'd only make your 5-sec SY last 7.2 sec (at 12 restoration magic) once every 30 sec.

SY builds usually have skills that increase your adrenaline income (FGJ, FA, or any IAS skill), making it much, much easier to just gain another 8 adrenaline and cast SY again.

Hmm, why not Enduring Harmony? It costs less (5e vs 10e), provides unconditional +50% for no points, whereas VwS needs 15 in Restoration to do the same. The duration of VwS/EH itself is irrelevant since all you want is 1 second until you activate the shout.

Not sure about the activation animation. EH definitely makes you stop for a second. If VwS doesn't break your running that might be a reason to prefer it.
