Hm... Just a thought. Addle then saboteur and slow2 5/5 on it. How far can the mob's recast timer be taken down? Is it even a known variable? This really needs to be tested. As stats so far shown on certain threads posted, being saboteur is supposedly double length and potency. And even more with your mnd potency gear how much could you drive it up?


(Granted I'm using hypothetically if you aren't resisted)

Is it even proven that slow effects mob recast timer? And addle says cast time so does it even effect recast?

Anything to stop Turul's fast-cast spam. ;_; Sadly, I am sure SE made Turul immune to Addle.

Joking aside, I do hope SE at least allows Addle to be cast on all mobs that have traditionally showed an immunity to silence. At the very least it's a fire spell, so things with a high wind resistance (versus silence, like Ice Elementals) can be affected.

I am sure some ballista testing will show how it affects recast time (if it does.)

well if slow slows our recast timer why wouldn't it do that for them? and yes you are right i'm sorry i didn't fully read through on addle. i just assumed cast/recast. But the way it is worded can be taken that way.

But who knows maybe se is talking about casting time as in recast time. I should parse to see if it does to make sure. I just got spell recently yesterday and didn't check it out yet.

Idk mobs seem to cast whenever they want. And cycle thru stuff. Idk if I've ever heard of anyone trying it out

There are some mobs that have certain spells they spam between 1-3 only. So yeah

because mobs aren't affected by a number of thing the same way we are. mob spell casting patterns often follow certain rotations, theres no way to say that slow actually prevents a spell from being up.
