What happens when..

..You acquire a -% delay?

A Gnome using Prowess gets -50% delay.. Combine this with Alacrity V (-25%), Rapid Fire Stance (-10%), Energize II (-15%), Boars Rage (-15%) and the Tempest(?) Banner (-7%).. They're the ones I can think of right now.. And you come to -22% total delay. However, I'm not sure if any of these conflict (I know Alac, Rapid Fire, Energize and Rage don't).

Obviously, that is not possible. I mean, how can you have a negative delay? So, I guess the question is: Which delay buff is counted first?

[evilkarl]

I think you get a % based on the current value eg

So if you have 50 delay weapon all the buffs they apply on the modified result rather than the original delay

50 Base
25 With prowess
18.75 With Alc V
16.85 with RFS
14.32 with Energise II
12.32 With Boars rage
11.45 with Tempest.

I seem to remember there being a limit of 11 on the lowest possible.

This is also assuming they evaluate in that order.

11 lowest possible? That's gotta suck for Monks..

[evilkarl]

its on the issue list ;)

Can't find the post, might've been on old Tazoon, but a dev (Manga?) has mentioned that delay adjustments are not added together. They are multiplied, so you basically can't get a negative delay. For the above example, I think it'd go like: 50 * 0,5 * 0,75 * 0,9 * 0,85 * 0,85 *0,93 = 11 (rounded).

11% of the original delay is pretty crazy fast.

Any faster and you'd overload the flux capacitor, go back in time and swing 20 attacks at once, turning you into a Deluxe monster food processor.

Can I get fries with that?

Gusi I'm surprised at you... this is basic arithmetic [:P]

you multiply percentages, not add them...

I guess you didn't read my whole post >.<
