o.o So a 40/40 set isnt 40/40? Can someone explain the math behind that?--Ryudo 20:40, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

20% of 80 is 16, not 20. 20+16=36. Backsword 20:47, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

I can make a try. First, it calculates the 20% chance if your first weapon. Then you have a 20% chance of success, and a 80% chance of not getting the bonus. After that, it calculates the second weapon separately, same numbers. This way, you have a 20% by 20% chance (0.2*0.2 = 0.04 = 4%) to get both those bonuses. And you have two chances of getting at least one of those bonuses, so 2 times 80% (no bonus) by 20% (getting bonus) (2*0.8*0.2=0.32 = 32%). - anja 20:50, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) :The two 20% chances are independent of each other and there is a chance that they will overlap. A 4% chance to be exact (.20 * .20 = .04). But they wont stack; there's no chance to get a QCT/QRT out of it. So it is more accurately a 36/36 set. --Valshia 20:56, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Hmm...I see. But I could have sworn I nailed a 1 second cast time on a meteor shower once in FA, using a 40/40 set...I remember it quite vividly as an "omfg wtf" kind of moment.--Ryudo 21:04, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

According to the article casting time bonus does in fact stack... (edit) Also see Gwiki's 40/40 article - anja 21:10, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

I stand corrected then (as the gwiki article cites sources). That one will stack but not the other seems inconsistent, but whatever. --Valshia 21:40, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

i believe casting time increase does stack but not exceding 50% which doesnt change anything with those anyway :P--Vørråx 21:17, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Haven't tested recently. May be a cap there too now. Used to be no caps on anything, at release. Backsword 21:44, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Weapon Guide

i am trying to make my pve ch ready for pvp dose anyone have any suggestions as to what weapon sets i should have for my ch right now i am under the impression that for damage classes its best to have a vamp, furious, zealous with the inscription strength and honor and have seven sheald one with each type of +10vs inscription. i have no idea about what kind of inscription i should have on the one handed syths and hammers and no idea as to what kind of weapon sets casters should have and which is better a staff or wand/focus combo. i am relay just looking for a generic guide to weapons i should have on each ch i know some builds need certain weapons to be effective.
