[edit] Game Mechanics: On-End of Enchantment Effects
Hypotheses:
- H1: All "lose all enchantments" (Extend Enchantments, Release Enchantments, Mystic Sandstorm, Contemplation of Purity, etc.) skills function identically in terms of enchantment removal order.
- H2: All enchantments are removed by these skills in a consistent order irrespective of when cast, remaining duration, or other factors.
- H3: All enchantments fall mechanically into two categories, subsequently labeled as Type 1, and Type 2. For the purposes of spells like Pious Renewal and Vow of Piety, Type 1 enchantments removed simultaneously will trigger the "on-end" effect, while Type 2 enchantments will not.
[edit] Observed Results
Methodology:
- The following enchantments were all tested with a Dervish/X using Pious Renewal in every situation. In all Dervish enchantment trials, Mystic Sandstorm was used to strip all enchantments. Additional trials on Dervish and Monk enchantments included the use of Contemplation of Purity, Release Enchantments, Extend Enchantments, and Winds of Disenchantment.
- Vow of Piety was also tested for several Dervish and Monk enchantments.
- No results were found to be inconsistent among different trial conditions.
