Skill delays

[bobjohnson]

Im just noticing now that im trying to jack up my stats, the delays on using some skills are incorrect.

Spirit Speak, Item ID, and Arms Lore did not have delays on use on OSI during this era. These were the skills we used to seesaw for stats (along with music, but i mentioned the delay on that in another thread...) and i am 100% certain that the only delay on these was the standard .5 second action delay. At skill cap, you could seesaw your stats to 100/100/25 in under 3 hours. I remember paying my sister to run my macro for me once because i wanted to go hang out with a buddy instead, and i know she wouldnt have sat there all day to do it

The delays were never the same time span as the action delay but 1 second instead. However, each of those skills were changed at one point in time close to the UOR publish.

We don't support patch notes after the last patch in '99. All skill delays had the standard 10 second delay before this patch.

Spirit Speak had a long delay... It was the signature of my newbieness to have Spirit Speak at like 60 so I could talk to the dead .

Skill delays are wrong on this shard, unless they were patched in the last week or so, check them out, some skills have the full blown delay and some skills have a delay of 5 or 6 seconds. Other skills (Enticement) have/had a delay of 1 second.

It's an easy fix, maybe Derrick can get on it when he gets back from vacation

You are right RoadKill. I have mentioned this in the past several times. All skill delays that had a lengthy delay should be sitting at 10 seconds long.

A complete list in the inaccuracies could be fixed pretty quickly if well substanciaed or agreeded upon

Thanks guys!
