Simple script to do it:



loop {
waitfor "Your series of strikes and ripostes leaves you winded and out of position."
start = Time.now

waitfor "You feel recovered from your whirlwind flurry of strikes."
echo "Took: " + ((Time.now.to_i) - (start.to_i)).to_s + " seconds to recover"
}

I believe it also depends on Physical training skill, forget what else.

You can test with me if you like, I've got 202 ranks in both.

Annd assuming those are seconds, those look way too long (no PT?)

Adding training to the info.

The important thing to take from this is that weight and base rt appear to affect the recovery period.

[Whirlin]

10 pound Lance:
71 Physical Fitness
55 MoC

Appeared to be a 45s recovery on focused MStrike

Sonic Lance:
35s recovery.

1 pound = +1 Second?

[Roblar]

5lb handaxe
303 PF ranks
202 MOC ranks
202 TWC ranks

20 seconds recovery on 12 swing (focused) edit: that was for TWC will try one weapon)

[Roblar]

I tried same max focused strike with 1 handaxe, as well as different weighted axes (5 lbs and 3 lbs) - all 20 second recovery time.

Possibly one could have been 21 seconds with wielding both but probably just too slow on stopwatch or with enhancives that cut down my rt to see if also lowers recovery time..

[Jeril]

There is a far simpler way to do it then that, have a script/macro/alias mstrike then spell active, check the time stamp.

[Whirlin]

Swung many sonic weapons, all polearms yielded 35s
Sonic Greataxe yielded 41s
Sonic Falchion was 42s


#mstrike.Cmd
put mstrike %1
put spell active

[Roblar]

Swung his lance, forgot the time now but was quicker recovery. Whirlin you write it down? :)

Also, STR helped (shorter recovery time with my surge on), as well as additional DEX enhancives

These were stats from the earliest recovery times I posted (24/7 worn enhancives)

Strength (STR): 100 (40) ... 117 (48)
Constitution (CON): 100 (35) ... 105 (37)
Dexterity (DEX): 100 (20) ... 114 (27)
Agility (AGI): 100 (20) ... 106 (23)
Discipline (DIS): 100 (25) ... 100 (25)
Aura (AUR): 100 (20) ... 100 (20)
Logic (LOG): 100 (20) ... 100 (20)
Intuition (INT): 100 (25) ... 107 (28)
Wisdom (WIS): 100 (25) ... 100 (25)
Influence (INF): 81 (20) ... 81 (20)

Not sure if agility helps with it too

Also, stats with more enhancives on (shorter recovery times):

Strength (STR): 100 (40) ... 117 (48)
Constitution (CON): 100 (35) ... 105 (37)
Dexterity (DEX): 100 (20) ... 124 (32)
Agility (AGI): 100 (20) ... 106 (23)
Discipline (DIS): 100 (25) ... 100 (25)
Aura (AUR): 100 (20) ... 100 (20)

Intuition (INT): 100 (25) ... 107 (28)
Wisdom (WIS): 100 (25) ... 100 (25)
Influence (INF): 81 (20) ... 85 (22)

[Whirlin]

It was about 27-30s for you iirc. Varied a bit based on your enhancives it seemed.

[SpiffyJr]

Updated the original post with a simple script to do timing.

[Alashir]

Thought I'd add this to the mix http://forum.gsplayers.com/archive/index.php/t-52739.html

Essentially it shows the formula is goofy and isn't always accurate.

[Whirlin]

With a 10 pound lance, 55 ranks of MoC
If I only swing twice, it was a 39s recovery
If I use all three swings, it was 44-45s recovery

I noticed a low recovery time of 39s with the script... it was related to how many swings I had done.

[Warriorbird]

It's definitely related to swing total. I'd check and see if you can get physical stat bonuses (all of them) into the mix.

[Whirlin]

I got my lance lightened to 8 pounds
3 focused mstrikes: 42/43s (down from 44/45)

This leads me to believe 1 pound = 1s of Mstrike RT, at least for 3 focused Mstrikes with a polearm.
