Lame?

[Razor Blade]

i came to the discovery that using autoquicken lvl 3 and haste is bugged using together the dude said that a mage using that has an advantage over a mage not using it..... so in other words it was lame
but max doesn't has it or talon and they beat me not to mention other players too so what is yours opinion???

[Blood Angel]

autoquicken doesn't make any mage faster unless he uses the item switching bug, I don't want to tell about that bug since, well item switching bug says it all and I don't think ppl should know such an evil thing >.<

However it doesn't work taking haste on and off on gs anyway.

But no, a mage doesn't gain any advantage by taking those feats if he has haste, if there is infact any advantage then it's a bug.

Some poeple can tell someone has autoquicken afther a duel. It has a effect on the casting, you have to time your casts different against a mage whit autoquicken, spells get fired earlyer. But it doesn't gives a big advantage like epic doge does. A good caster won't have much problems dueling a mage whit quicken anyway.

It's not that bad in my eyes, my mage is way worse whit it's hide in a mage duel, just ask talon or max But if you want to do a clean mageduel, whitout complains, just don't take it, it's a waste of 4 feats on top of it.

Reminds me to script a haste check for arivs.

First spell casted a round with auto-quick is casted a split second faster than without it...not enough to make a big difference.

Quicken feat has really never worked properly anyway...it worked more like it was supposed to pre hotu now it's just messed up.

[Elessar Telrunya]

yeah i dont think it really makes a difference, as far as the human eye can tell, they will cast at almost the exact same time if they start at the exact same tiem

Hubba told me it was lame when someone asked if he should take autoquicken .
I asked to mel and mel said it was bugged

It is bugged, it shouldn't affect the spells while hasted. But it still has a effect on it.

my 2 cents worth: i haven't noticed a difference with Quicken and Haste nor have i noticed quicken giving me a field advantage in a GS duel (ask any mage i've fought against that wasn't a n00b)

Khad, from hour sig now, it seems you just beat summoner. That game is on the original Ps2 box, so you know its old. I beat it a few years ago and that was horrible. I hardely lauphed (game wasnt too bad for its oldness).

Wow..... you guys.... thats sad. It does speed up your casting by alot. As soon as someone casts mantle i can tell if they have auto quicken or not.  One of my mage has it and i cast fod right before they mantle.  It is lame only when the other person dosent have it.  But if they both have it its just speeds up the duel.

wow.... viper.... you dumbass. it speeds it up possibly a milisecond. its possible that the person with the mantle had a bit of lag and didnt click fast enough. geez thats the obvious reason.

very nice, lord, handled well by your good self.

yeash - you wont have any toys left in your pram at this rate

to make this post valid - i dont use auto quicken, and the mages i duel against mosty win :S

I think when we tested it some time ago we found that having auto quicken 3 and haste allowed you to cast one extra spell every second round or so. I seem to remember talon and nemesis testing it out and coming to that conclusion anyway. Perhaps it has since been fixed in a patch, but I have recently duelled an autoquickened mage and found that they kept getting ahead no matter what I tried. It is particularly annoying when they  cast breach, an offensive spell and remantle in the time it takes you to cast breach and just start casting your own offensive spell :angry2:

[Blood Angel]

well that sounds a bit too fast, quick bug fast, the one were they take haste on and off all the time.

Yes - Its bugged.
Recovery time after first spell in round is reduced which means the second spell comes out faster.

Test before you talk elesar, besides when have you maged dueled before! It does speed. Try casting a mantle at the exact same time youl c its faster.
