Oh, causality. It only lasts for 1 hit and has a 60 second cooldown. You just missed the rest of your hits

God, I hate this retarded spell. It lasts long enough to lose all momentum/get kelp stacked - https://ada-young.appspot.com/pastebin/gx3rXDSh

Probably going to start tumbling into runes/running whenever that's up.

Causality lasts for 1 hit (or 7s [maybe 5], I think, depending on what comes first), broheim. It just has the same message as clumsiness when you miss. 

Ahmet

It's 5 seconds.

Exelethril

Right, it's bugged too - https://ada-young.appspot.com/pastebin/IQBNcPp4

@Ahmet : Oh is it only 1 hit and a guaranteed miss? That's not too bad then 

Ahmet

Guaranteed dodge on the next physical blow within five seconds, for 270 age, on a 60 second cooldown. Seems reasonable to me!

Exelethril

Yep, reasonable. Any idea what depression/shadowmadness does? Gives x mental affs if you don't cure it within a certain time frame like hypochondria?

Ahmet

Depression does health/mana damage based on how many phobias or madness affs that you have, on a tick.

Madness is... I think madness is increased focus time/cost?

Not a tick, does damage when you get phobia/madness affs, scaling with how many relevant affs you have when you get the aff.

Madness is... I think madness is increased focus time/cost?
Increased focus time (4s? I think), and periodic mental affs (which count towards depression's damage). These two are what needs to be looked at, to be honest. The damage component gets stupidly high, stupidly fast.

Exelethril

Thanks guys. That visible spell on QL which drags you back into the room functions like piety/gravehands?

Ahmet

Distort. How long it lasts scales downward with how much age you have.

Exelethril

Can you actually escape it though or you're definitely going to get teleported back?

Think I'll stop being greedy by trying to stack a 4th useless kelp aff (weariness) for a < % of DWs getting out of a focus lock and just go for a faster 2 stack kelp asthma/slickness rng given the clumsy miss rate

Ahmet

It's a percent chance, much like gravehands/piety.

Antonius

@Exelethril (and anybody else!) There's some code linked in my signature that will allow you to check the AB file for any ability via GMCP; a lot of these questions can be answered using that, so it's well worth taking the 60 seconds or less to set it up (it's a script object and an alias).

Depression does damage when the symptom effects from phobias proc ("For each phobia or madness that the victim suffers from, they will suffer in both body and mind when the symptoms manifest themselves."), such as the self hit from masochism. It doesn't occur when you get a new affliction since none of them proc immediately.

The percentage chance to keep them in the room scales inversely with age ("resulting in it becoming progressively less potent the older you grow."), as far as I know it has no effect on duration.

Ahmet

Man Ive got everything backwards today. Guess thats what happens when you miss your morning coffee

Omor

Just a quick shoutout to Antonius' gmcp ab script. I use it religiously.

Exelethril

Is there a talisman that does 30% aoe dmg on dying?

Omor

@Exelethril That's a Mhaldor thing. Necromancy -> Vengeance. 

 Wow that spoiler got fucked. Here it is unspoilered.

Syntax:

VENGEANCE [ON/OFF]

RELAX VENGEANCE

Works on/against:

Room

Cooldown:

4.00 seconds of equilibrium

Resource:

4% life essence

Details:

At the cost of a fair amount of life essence, you will exact revenge on your 

killers when you die in most circumstances.

Antonius

Revelation's guise (a talisman) gives an effect that's basically the same thing.

Exelethril

How does this work then?

Name: revelation's guise

Keyword: guise

Brief: "This guise allows you to breathe forth a miasma, causing all to die within its tendrils to 

deliver a final retributive strike."

Omor

Guise is another, yeah. But most of the AoE death damage from the crusade earlier was vengeance.

Exelethril

Hmm, so you can stack Vengeance and that? Ouch 

Dunn

I feel like causality is more than one hit guaranteed to miss...

I have missed three full dsl's off the back of it before. RNGesus, maybe? Annoying, definitely!

Antonius

If you also have clumsiness, could just be getting screwed by that. I think the AB file says (or at least implies) that it's only the next hit, but I may be wrong. Easy enough to test whether it's a guaranteed dodge on only the next hit, though.

Farrah

It's currently all attacks within the 5 seconds. Don't know if that's how it's intended to work or not.

Dunn

Thought so, @Farrah. 

Xaden

Yeah, that definitely sounds more accurate.

Antonius

Causality (Aeonics)                           Known: Yes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax:            CHRONO CAUSALITY [BOOST]
Works on/against:  Self
Resource:          270 age
Details:
By tapping into the threads of causality, you can determine when and
where an enemy shall strike. This will allow you to dodge any physical
attack with absolute certainty, though no more than once. You may only
do this sparingly.

If you boost this ability, you may tap into the threads of causality
without incurring an equilibrium cost.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bolded makes it sound like it's only supposed to be one attack. I've bugged it, will see what the response is.

Exelethril

I'm quite sure that it's working as intended but it does let DWs dodge while prone.

Omor

Can't be initiated prone, though.
