Talk:Lightning Mastery

Damage increase?

Currently, the descriptions of the individual levels, and the table contradict each other on the amount of damage that is added by the skill. I assume the table is more recent? --Hecate 05:09, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

What does it effect; damage? mana use? casting time? anyone know?

Efficiency is damage...?

is that it? damage is nice, but why not just say damage?

Even I'm not quite sure. Efficiency would logically damage but could mean anything like, fasting charge speeds with damage and what not.

I have rank 1 thunder but i still use 42 mana to cast it. I use mana usage -6% wand so does it have to do with anything?

rank 1 lightning mastery, sorry. Also, where is the edit button?

If you lag when casting magic it will consume more mana than normal due to the extended load time. Make sure your ping is under 80 ms so you don't burn up mana due to lag.

i see. thanks. also, does the mana reduction add up or multiply? so will it be -26% or -6% and then -20%?

It compounds. -20 and -6 is is -24.8% mana use.

With -44%mp wand and mp reduction set and r9 lightning mastery, it should take 42*0.9*0.9*0.56 = 19mp for the first charge. However I notice it only takes 16mp when I was rafting. Anyone know why?

If you equipped or unequipped something that gave mana prior to the spell use, you'll have more than your max mana (though it won't show up). Try again and see if it happens on multiple charges?

Tried it again. For the first charge, the mp consumption seems to be about 16-17. I wonder if the -mp bonus from lightning mastery applies to the original mp consumption: (42*0.9*0.56)-(42*0.1)=16.97

Or in other words, the -mp consumption from lightning mastery is added, not compounded.

A fully charged thunder took 42 mp, even with my formula (44mp) it's still 2 mp off... I have no idea how it works.

I haven't seen this happen with my thunder at all. I have no idea.

the master title adds another 10% mana usage reduction right? it says "lightning magic Efficiency" so it's either mana usage reduction or more damage like the other magic element mastery titles.

Right now with r1 lightning mastery, -10% mp reduction set and -44% mp wand, 1st charge thunder costs 12mp and full charge costs 32mp.

Only around 32 MP for you huh? That's really sweet.

how did you get a -44% mp wand? as i can only find them up to -16% with upgrades and i have not found any enchants which lower mp

The Crystal Lightning Wand can get -44% Mana Consumption with the Lightning Element Restraint upgrades and the jewel upgrade.

Yes and it also takes a good bit of damage off your spells along with it :(--DANTE20XX 04:23, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
