Migrane and Dazed......

do they stack?

Migrane makes the casting time of spells take 100% longer, and if i recall correctly, dazed makes spells take twice as long to cast. So Dazed would make spells take twice as long, and 100% longer of that would be FOUR times as long.


Example:

A ranger has just used and hit with concussion shot on an elementalist, and then a mesmer used Migrane on that same target.


The Ele starts casting Fire Storm, that has a 4 second casting time, and with dazed it takes 8 seconds. But with Migrane, would Fire Storm take a whopping 16 seconds to cast?

or Restore Life an earth shattering 32 seconds?

i know that dazed and Migrane dont last 32 seconds, but im just staying....

anyone know if this is right?

I recall someone saying that the cap is something like +200%. I mean on top of the normal casting time. i.e. the maximum casting time of Backfire would be 9 seconds even if you have Dazed, Migraine and Arcane Conundrum on you.

yeah there's a cap on casting time

damn.....it would be awesome to see a monk standing over somebody for 32 seconds though

You could also use Arcane conundrum and make his orisons of healing 8 seconds and his other 1/2 spells around 4 seconds.


Now imagine Restore Life casting time SIXTY-FOUR seconds

I actually ran a build like this:

Migrane, Arcane Conundrum, Power Spike/Drain/Leak/Leech Signet/Backfire

It was fun. Then I took out Migrane for Power Block and that was even funner.

Why would you put backfire in that build I'm wondering? The guy wont be getting a spell off sucessfully, so the backfire becomes useless.

backfire is never useless on an anti caster build, your trying to take the caster out of the picture, by putting backfire on him he's not going to want to cast anything, and when he does you just intirrupt him, that's the reason for an anti caster build take them out of the battle
