costume brawl weapon choice? - Guild Wars Forums

themickman · Oct 27, 2007, 06:13 PM // 18:13

it is obvious that health and energy mods on the weapons during the costume brawl are worthless, but do halves casting time, + armor, and mastery mods still work? if so, what combination of mods would be the best for an ele?

I would use a 40/40

I believe 20/20 mods do work. Have a 40/40 set with an enchanting secondary set to switch to whenever you use fire attunement, aura of restoration (use it as a cover enchant against mesmers and necros), or flame djinn's haste.

Yea, I've found that a 40/40 set works nice.

40/40 set ... = 24/24 set , 20 x 1,2 / 20x1,2

... its not 40% 40% but 24% 24%

Actually, it's 32% of 1/2 cast / recharge and 4% of 1/4 cast.

20% * 80% * 2 = 32% = chance of 1/2 cast / recharge

Wand Yes Focus No / Wand No Focus Yes

20% * 20% = 4% = chance of 1/4 cast

Wand Yes Focus Yes

QUARTER RECHARGE IS NOT AVAILABLE, IT TURNS OUT. QUARTER CAN ONLY APPLY TO CAST

Here's a visual:

You can't get quarter recharge. Only half.

I see...they must have updated it and I didn't pay attention...

You can get quarter cast though, right?

Kale Ironfist · Oct 29, 2007, 02:36 AM // 02:36

Yep, no problems with quarter cast.
