Symbolic Celerity & HCT/HSR question - Guild Wars Forums

TheGizzy · Apr 03, 2011, 03:50 AM // 03:50

I was looking at the description for the mesmer spell, Symbolic Celerity. I'm wondering how that impacts the effects of a 40/40 set of non-fast-casting attribute.

Specifically, I was examining the standard Keystone build, which has cross-attributes throughout. If I were using four domination signets, Symbolic Celerity causes them to rely on the Fast Casting attribute for their power... but what about for their HCT/HSR?

Anyone know?

Almost positive that signets do not benefit from a 40/40 set as they on work with spells, not signets.

I remember after an update there was an occasional glitch where signet of pious light would half cast if I had a certain pvp staff with 10/10 half cast mods, but that stopped a while ago.

As above. Signets are not spells so HCT/HSR mods have no effect. If they did though, I would expect you'd need HCT/HSR mods for Domination, not FC.

There is an analagous question here about signet of illusions though.

Thanks everyone... that should have been obvious to me... my brain clearly checked out tonight. LOL

Now if they'd just fix the connectivity issues, I could go back to playing with my builds instead of just asking about them.
