Antichant Discussion

Quote :

My character Valkrist has Antichant at Perfected, but it is a passive skill and doesn't need to be ranked up, so I was wondering if I could get the exp back from ranking it up to perfected.

At the moment, it is not entirely pointless to level up Antichant as the stamina drain is reduced from x2 to x1.5 added to a tech's existing stamina drain. This would indicate that if something had a destructive drain trained at perfected, it would requires 35% * 2 = 70% stamina to be used with Antichant (novice). With Antichant (perfected) it would only require 35% * 1.5 = 53% stamina. 25% stamina can come in handy some times, so it would be a stretch to say there's no point in training it. No tech 'needs' to be trained to perfected, but it's still a good idea.

ya that's what i was wonderin

The ability to forcibly use a spell without chanting the invocation for it. It allows an user to get off a spell faster, but casting spells this way places an extra strain on the user.
Effect: stamina drain x2 for the tech used

Shin need to rewrite that if you want to to be leveled up b/c it sounds like it is one of the few passive skills that doesn't. Oh and it is 1.4 not 1.5 (30% of 2 is .6)

I'm not sure what you mean by that, but it was posted on the technique question board that when Antichant is leveled to perfected the stamina drain reduces from x2 to x1.5. There was an issue with it being cut in half when perfected (2 * 1/2 = 1) so that you could Antichant with no additional stamina requirement, so I believe Shin set it to reduce .1 per level trained.

I think her point is that "how would a new person know this?" It's one of those house cleaning matters.

yeah there is no way someone would know that I came up with the 1.4 b/c "* Perfected (Reduces Stamina cost -30%)" There wasn't anyway I would have know that it was lowered by .1 per lvl

Yeah, that should be clarified.
