I know that you ahve to have +26 dex cap bonus and full dex on your suit when you summon your pet to get 3 casts under FP. Anyone test what woudl happen if they got say, Augdex4 and +26 dex cap? Is there no further effect?

Aug dex does not transfer to the abomination.

yes,I thought Redh would have corected him on that...so I wasn't sure.


Minimum dex to FP 3x,can vary depending on the swing time of your attacker.

You will want the +101 dex in your suit anyway because we cast so slow,and faster casting is simply more damaging.

Many folks have reported here that they can successfully 3xFP with +dex in the mid to low 90's and/or the yellow spec dex (not me, thats for sure). But generally, I would think you would want to shoot for red +25% spec dex from bot and +96 dex from items or better for it to be reliable.

However, there really is no specific value that either does or does not allow you to get 3xFP off because there are many many variables to its success several are not game mechanics specific. Things like, mob count, mob attack speed, mob attack syncronization, FP timing, server lag, your comp speed or even your distance from the server can or will all effect how easy it is to 3xFP. For me, if I'm pulling 10+ mobs, I know that I have to max everything I can in order to assure 3xFP success. I've rearranged my gear to be +100 instead of +101 and not been able to get off that 3rd cast.

So if your intent it to pull large numbers of mobs, I'd start with +96 dex & +25% red dex buffs and experiment from there.

PoC is interesting. I have a second comp that is slightly slower than my main. In every single zone I've been in I cannot /stick the background account, but in PoC I can if its empty, but not if its fairly active.

As Far As I Know... +cast_speed does NOT transfer to the pet.

+spell_damnge does transfer, but that is due to the strange way we cast spells (we cast [command] them, pet goes through the casting motion for pet cast spells.)

+99/100ish dex from items and 40+25% enhance bot (red base, yellow spec) lets me FP x3 very very reliably.
