i know that it means more dps in the same amount of time. my question as phrased is a little ambiguous. ill try to clarify.

this is my understanding of harmonization and its effects on my spells.
i dont have much gear with faster reuse timer effects, so harmonization does nothing for shower and storm since by the time i can cast them again, they are no longer on the mob anyway, so having them on the mob for a shorter duration does not translate to me casting them back on the mob sooner. assuming pessimism is moderately worthless, ill ignore it. brainclot is different since its reuse is up before it ticks off the mob. if the duration shortens, ill be able to cast it on the mob earlier than if it ran w/out harmonization.

assuming gear that grants faster reuse timers, that helps getting shower and storm back up faster.

is all that correct?

what does harmonization do for lesion? is the duration shortened? the wording of harmonization suggests so.

does manatap get lengthened? but does no more power regen, right?

last time i looked at my reuse timers and durations, storm was at about same duration as reuse.

why should Lesion get shortened? anything tick at it?

yup that was my point lol

no, but it has a duration, even if all the damage is done up front. harmonization is worded so that heals and damage spells are shortened, while all other spells are lengthened. since the effect on lesion doesnt damage the mob, i was thinking it might be lengthened, but since the spell has a damage component, im more likely to lean towards it being shortened.

If a mob lasts for 57.5s, and you manage to get Shower on the mob at 0s, which means you'll get it on the mob again at 47.5s, if you have harmonization, that means it'll deal out full damage right as the mob dies, if you don't, you won't deal full damage, thus lowering your DPS.

as i said last time you said it that, i already realize that it makes the dots tick faster, making you do the damage faster. thats not any part of my question or concern.

without harmonization and +reuse gear, the duration of shower is 10s. the recast is 45s. with harmonization, the duration is 9s. recast is still 45s. harmonization does not help in terms of being able to cast storm on the mob more often. yes, it makes it tick faster, but the recast is still much longer than duration.

brainclot, however, has duration of 14s and recast of 8s. its back up ready to cast before it ticks off the mob. with harmonization, you can cast brainclot on the mob 1s sooner each time.

storm has duration and recast of 9s. harmonization will make it tick off at 8s. if you have a few pieces of reuse timer gear, you should be able to cast this 1s ealier each time too.

i think i have everything straight now, talking it out like this really helps lol. thanks guys.

leasion's duration is shortened by harmonization
