OH boy, yeah I kno, and thank Altana it does. It helps the WHM if I can simply throw up a Stoneskin and let that poison wear off instead of bugging them for a poisona. Take care on Bio3 tho, that shit is serious. . . . about 30HP/Tick ._.

Damn right. Sometimes I cast Haste on myself before my first Refresh. Let me tell you a secret: I use the clock to time my Refresh. Many ppl say it's unnecessary and anal, but fuck that, in a hectic situation, I just have to look at the clock to remember who to refresh next and how much time until my next cast. When there is a lot going on, it helps to be able to just throw out a refresh, not miss anyone in the lineup, and spam Paralyna, since Byakko is a bitch on 4 legs. . .

(I start casting Refresh on myself at *:58, it lands on *:00. Next person can get Refresh at *:06 and end by *:08,; next person at *:14 ending at *:16; *:22 casting at *:24; and *:30 ending at :36)

These are rough approxamites, cause I believe I actually cast the third refresh at :12, but anyway, even with 5 ppl to refresh, I have at least 20-30 game seconds to rest, leaving me with anywhere from 2-4 ticks. With my hMP, I can easily get around 55 or so MP/tick. Keep in mind that we also enfeeble in between Refresh Casting, meaning that at the end of our cycle, all we need to do is /h.

Anyway, it's just a tihng I do, try it if you want, I don't blame those that simply cast Refresh when it falls, but in those pressure situations, a few ticks of MP lost is the difference between being able to do a cure3 and a dead tank ._.

Point is, Haste affects recast, and now that you know how I cast Refresh, I'm going to try casting Refresh with Haste active to see how many seconds are shaved off, and if the extra 40MP warrants usage (because even if I finish Refresh faster, unless I can get extra resting in due to the less time it took, it'll be useless)

But ty for the suggestion!

Dude, that is exactly how I do refresh and how i deal with 6x refresh. The haste buys you the needed time to /heal sometimes for the extra tick (which gives u more than 40 mp back) and it actually lets you fit in all 6 refreshs without having to watch xxxx refresh wears off and constantly trying to catch up.

Oh and yea it also helps to know who is and isn't refreshed without much thought proccess.

Woot! Another Anal-Retentive RDM!!!!! >.<!!!!! I'm not alone!!!!!!!!

After I finish NIN (34 atm !!!!!!) I'm gonna try out refreshing with and without haste to get a clear view. I know that the spell is 15%, and with FC4, we get about 18% off spell recasts. I've never tried casting Haste with Haste on, btw >.> anyway, moving on, ty Kman, you just made my day. Ppl think I'm excessive and that I'm making something simple like refresh complicated, but on the contrary, I'm making Refresh manageable so that it's something we don't have to think about when half the alliance is in red and debufs are wearing off >.>;;

FC is random... /shakes head in disgust

Actually, it used to be a random effect a long time ago (prior to NA release).

If so, then the OP made a jump to conclusion without verifying facts. That player that is being talked about here might be a long time veteran - either as a long time player or a player that started a long while ago and then quit and is now coming into the game again.

It's never safe to assume anything ...
