Talk:Blessed Aura

Dumb question
So I'm assuming that the enchantment length is only for enchantments cast on the person with this enchantment on them, not that a monk with this cast on them would have all enchantments cast on anyone last longer... right?
 * The latter. Blessed aura is self-enchant only.  --68.142.14.42 02:33, 15 August 2006 (CDT)

Combination
Does anyone know how this combines with +%enchant length staff wrappings? Do they get added together? Or does one get applied, and then the other?


 * Good question. I always assumed one would get applied, then the other. I'll check it out tonight. Shandy 17:11, 22 March 2006 (CST)


 * I just tested it with P&H (Peace and Harmony), I chose a long lasting enchant so the difference is clearer. At 12 Divine Favor, Blessed Aura adds 30% and P&H lasts 78 seconds. I had a 16% enchanted weapon. So:
 * If the 30% was caluclated relative to the original number and the 16% too, then the total length would be: 78 + 0.3 x 78 + 0.16 x 78 = 78 + 23.4 + 12.48 = 113.88
 * If the 30% was first applied to the 78 and then the 16% was calculated out of the new total number then the math would be: 78 + 0.3 x 78 + 0.16 x 78 x (1.3) = 78 + 23.4 + 16.224 = 117.624
 * I am not sure where truncation would take place internally in the game. But because the gap is 3 seconds at least, I tested it and it took 117 seconds. So I guess the two effects are cumulative, not added side by side. --Karlos 18:10, 22 March 2006 (CST)


 * I got the same results as Karlos. Instead of getting duration * 1.5 with a 30% blessed aura and a 20% wrapping, I got duration * 1.56, which is equal to duration * 1.3 * 1.2. LordKestrel 02:20, 23 March 2006 (CST)
 * I can confirm this due to testing I did with the SoA Axe. Ubermancer 00:45, 3 August 2006 (CDT)

I did some testing using Blessed Aura and Balthazar's Aura, switching between a regular staff and a 20% enchanting staff to see how numbers are rounded.

Assuming that Balthazar's Aura pulses at the end of each interval like most DoT spells, the duration appears to be either rounded to the nearest second or rounded up to the next half-second. Unfortunately, because of the way the numbers synch up, it cannot be determined whether the values are rounded independantly for the enchanting mod and blessed aura with this test. Once Nightfall is released, Shield of Absorption will be ideal for testing due to its 1 second duration with a low Protection Prayers attribute. -- Gordon Ecker 05:11, 8 October 2006 (CDT)
