(ROUNDUP((Cast/0.132),0)+1)*0.132
Example: (roundup((.83/.132),0+1)*.132
(roundup((6.287878787),0+1)*.132
(7+1)*.132
1.056
Stated cast times from City of Data:
SP: .83
Smite: .97
MG: 2.07
Corrected cast times using arcanatime:
SP: 1.056
Smite: 1.188
MG: 2.244
Be well, people of CoH.
You should probably also be curious about Siphon Life ((roundUp(1.93 / .132)+1)*.132 = 2.112 seconds), seeing as it's more useful within the confines of attack strings than Shadow Punch.

I have all my min/max AV killing builds finished up.
I've just been looking over my concept fun build.

Ahh, well then, go about your business. Kinda curious as to what's the point of asking for Arcanatime calculations, which is pretty much only useful within the context of attack string optimization, if you're not going to be optimizing though. Seems to be contradictory to say that you're going for concept but asking for optimization help.

I guess you could say I'm min/maxing a non min/maxing build, if you will.|

Meaning that the power choices I picked were geared towards the concept of the character which are "non-AV soloing powers"...but I still want to min/max the build with the powers I have chosen.

Understandable. I'm curious what you're going to be using to round out your attack string though. It's not possible to have the seamless chain fragment of Smite>SP>Smite present anywhere in your attack string (because the minimum recharge of Smite is 1.2 seconds at 400% +rech) and MG>SP>Smite>SP would have insane (re: 365% +rech) requirements on MG. Gonna be using Boxing, Air Superiority, or an APP attack to round it out?

Well I was asking for the arcanatime numbers because I love the SP-Smite-SP attack...very fun IMO when seemless.|

I'm getting LBE and ET from Body Mastery for my other attacks.

MG: 15 sec base, 5.28 needed, 185% +rech required
Smite: 6 sec base, 2.224 needed, 170% +rech required
SP: 3 sec base, 6.468 needed, 0% +rech required
LBE: 6 sec base, 5.676 needed, 6% +rech required

Just curious...do you have the DPS for that?

Unslotted base DPS using Mids' numbers would be 66.45 (501.2 damage / 7.524 seconds).

I know there is an equation that gives you the actual cast times of the powers...I believe it's called arcanatime?
I'm wondering what the actual cast times are for...
Shadow Punch
Smite
Midnight Grasp
Thanks in advance
