Barbute of Heavenly Radiance

[Haisei]

As most know, this helm drops from the lovely Taeshlin encounter in OP...now the stats/classes are fine by me but the one thing that does not seem right is the clicky on it. The 2 second clicky, Heavenly Wrath is a 25% bard overhaste with exactly one minute of duration.

The problem with Heavenly Wrath is not the 25% song overhaste, nor the fact that the duration is one minute...it is the fact that the recast is 14400 ticks. Now this equates to precisely 24 hours in normal people time and that really doesn't make much sense. I'd like to request this be changed to something more realistic such as possibly 3-5 minutes of recast time (or something significantly shorter than 24 hours). 24 hours seems like overkill for a recast on a one minute duration 25% bard song overhaste. syduck:


Edit: I should mention, not only is it only one minute, it's also only usable outdoors. :haw:

I think the helm is fine personally, the stats on it make it an excellent helm for pretty much any class on it, especially for rangers / monks / rogues. The overhaste is not supposed to be something you can click every half hour. The click has been this way ever since the item entered the game six months ago. I find it somehwat comedic that after ruin see's 3 of them that we see an S&R post asking for the item ( or in this case specifically, the effect ) to be improved. Please don't follow that trend for IP items when you finally get those.

Yeah this item is leaps and bounds above any other for most classes that can use it. I don't see the clicky being changed since it's essentially a bonus on top of a fantastic item all around.

24 hours recast on a one minute 25% overhaste is a bit silly, but BoHR is probably one of the last items in the game that needs an upgrade

The recast is the same as on the earring's nuke, and they are roughly equivalent in terms of how much damage they can deal.

 

[rab]

it is the fact that the recast is 14400 ticks.

Well, it's NOT that, so this post is pretty much pointless.

 

[Zhak]

Good job ranger making a worthless thread, please report to cannon.

 

[Widan]

When it says recast time on the parser that's in seconds not ticks, so a recast of 14400 is 4 hours not 24.

While I think the helm is fine as-is, what you posted here is probably the dumbest thing you've ever typed. For one, your central point is logically invalid. You made an argument against the person (Haisei) and not his actual points (that the item should be upgraded), essentially just calling him names instead of actually rebutting his point. Second, the purported alternate motive is also pretty dumb--it'd be damn hard to post about an item you don't even have and still support your points. Third, ruin has seen three, but this isn't some official guild post; indeed, hasei is a seperate individual and can post if he likes. Fourth, the fact that the helm has stayed unchanged for 6 months is irrelevant; many old items have been changed in the past, and you certainly seem to have no problem with the concept of changing old items in general.

In conclusion you get an F- and you should see me after class.

bonus edit: It is difficult to format inline links in this manner!

His central point looked to me like:

But yeah, Zhak was looking for some not-so-sublte jabs at <insert person/entity he dislikes here> and not really a solid, logic-filled D&D discussion that we all know you're used to, TM.

Ninja reply post-lock to clear something up as a final note on this post. Like was pointed out, that recast is in SECONDS, not TICKS. Durations are the value in TICKS in the spell parser. So in the future please try to consider that when bringing suggestions about clicky effects. 4 hours is substantially less than 24 hours, for example.
