Quickness

[ryandward]

Enchanter spell Quickness.

I know this has been posted before, but this is really a huge issue...

At level 16, Quickness only lasts 4 minutes, 12 seconds. This is nowhere near what the tooltip says of 11 minutes. I remember distinctly being pissed (on live server) that it only lasted about 10 minutes, and not longer like most buffs.

This is definitely a bug. Can someone please fix it? Also, I'm not sure if other haste spells are bugged too.

This is definitely a bug.

This is definitely NOT a bug. Quickness, as with a lot of spells, increase in their duration as the level of the player increases. While it might have a max duration of 11 minutes, that will only be achieved at level 50/60 for the player. At lower levels, especially when the spell is first acquired, the duration is much lower. 3-4 minutes for quickness is the correct duration for a player of level 16.

I have a level 50 enchanter and the duration is 11 minutes.

It has been posted here before you're right. It's been answered here as well, on page 2 of the forum. Look at the duration.

Maybe make the tooltip a little clearer... sorry

P1999 devs dont write the tooltips. SoE did right around the time they killed the game. It's part of the client.TM

Meh. That's that.

The durations don't scale correctly. It's a bug.

I suppose we need to break this down Barney style.

4.0 mins @L15 to 11.0 mins @L50

50 - 15 = 35

11.0 - 4.0 = 7.0

7 / 35 = 0.2

Each level increases the duration by 12 seconds.

0.1 minute = 6 seconds
0.2 minutes = 12 seconds
