Mob's Timers

Darkniss · 04-01-2008, 08:46 AM

Ok, I am a little bit of a perfectionist. To bad my spelling isn't, but here to goes.

Which classes with what spells can effect the Mob's timers?

I know Traumatic Swipe from a rogue effects recast timers, and Torporous Strike effect casting speed. But what other classes can?

Problem is on Imzok his 2nd AOE is always off up to 81 seconds. If the rogues are NOT casting Swipe, how else can his second AOE be off by so much?

We don't have any problem with him, and first pull him each time, but it annoys me that this one AOE is off on his second cast.

You probably don't have Imzok's Revenge in the Data Correction tab, and thus aren't picking up Traumatic Swipe very accurately with how ACT deals with apostrophes. Add it to the Data Correction tab and all should be well.

Done that, but before we did, we would make our rogues NOT swipe, and his 2nd AOE was always off, around 70-80 seconds. Only his second AOE, the rest are always right on, swiped, or not swiped.

Then you have the wrong timer for it.

IS the AoE you are talking about the Sebellisian Torrent? If so their seems to be some variation on it...40 seconds plus free will?

There are a bunch of things that affect spell timers. It can be a number of different factors...so its pretty easy to figure them out though if you use your head.

Yea I know there is some variation to it, interupts and such. But such a wide varation I can not account for.

Example:
On pull he AOE's 10 : 10 : 10
2nd AOE 10 : 11 : 31 (81 seconds)
3rd AOE 10 : 12 : 12 (41 seconds)
4th AOE 10 : 12 : 52 (40 seconds)

And not one swipe through out the fight. So could it be another class/spell/item?

No.

It is perhaps an instance of the effect not being cured from everyone (including pets). I don't remember if the dot lasts long enough for that to be the case though. Either way, shit happens. Timing AOEs is not an exact thing. Perhaps a perfectionist should not be the one doing it.

I'd try setting up a white list for that AOE and see if that corrects it (add only people you know will be hit & cured, such as tanks). Or look at your logs and time the actual ticks.
