everyone knows this is the tele kick move for asasins, does the speed at which it tele kicks depend upon ias% or fcr% or doesnt it matter at all?

incase that link goes dead heres the quote:
Dragon (flight) is a sequence animation comprising of both the spellcasting (SC) animation and the kicking (KK) animation. Unfortunately, it can't be sped up with either BoS, IAS, lower WSM weapons or faster cast rate gear. I've seen it widely reported that faster cast rate gear will speed up the spellcasting portion of the animation. My testing indicates that FCR has no effect on Dragon Flight. Sorry. I used and editor to create some ungodly IAS and FCR gear. With these items, I had over 200% of both IAS and FCR. I also used BoS for these tests. The results? It didn't matter what amounts of IAS, BoS, and FCR I had, the Dragon Flight animation stayed at the same length.

Dragon Flight has a set speed of 23 frames. That's it, no EIAS or BoS/IAS tables needed. Wish all the attacks were this easy to cover.

hmm, thanks jerkazoid. it confirmed pretty much what i thought Razz

if fcr worked on it though lvl 30 kicker builds would be even more versatile

df got a cast delay which cannot be changed by ias or fcr. Smile

I'd be happy if DF just didn't do that miscast thing it does oh so often. You kicker users know exactly what I'm talking about. Confused

its when they run directly down the screen, becuase dflight tele kicks to thier north so when it reches them its out of range already. its a good trick to waste kickers mana if you know what your doing

....OOHh... when someone spams some spell at you and your holding down DF and it makes the sound, and takes away that HUGE amount of mana but does NOTHING and u click it a few more time HOPING to get lucky,, but no u just stay in the same spot wasteing mana,...

(i HATE THAT!!!!1111)

i also hate it when its just out of range and you dflight then you stand still, this wastes like a second ( dflight is 23 frames and it runs at 25 frames a sec) which pisses me off becuase if they have good frw that second is hard to make up. plus i hate pussies that run into town when there abouit to die and your having a really good duel and when you d flight when there still out of town but when you land there in town, you cant becuase there in town, damn pussies. i end my rant there^^

ed some lvl 56 fire ball sorc, me and her wewre having a pretty matched duel she was fairly good and damn fast i had her down to minimal health and just when i'm about to make the finishing blow with d flight she teles away like a pussy, GRRR!!

Also bowzons are VERY annoying.
You cant Dflight while being hit by loads of 8fps arrows so u have to walk across the screen to get them and then they can just run away.

I find that often the only way to win is to get the first hit and even that is tricky as they can hit you from further away than you can hit them.

bowazons+no block= owned

thats how most of my duels go, i'm lucky becuase there stupid enough to tank me^^ even some of the really good ones using those duped bows and duped charms.

with more fhr and fbr that problem should go away
