The Magician's Armory: Mesmer Collectors List

You mean this would be awesome: Vokur's Cane 20/20 with a collector item 20/20 iluusion.. 40 skill recharge and 40 fast casting :P:P

No , not 40/40%, it would then be 36/36% , atleast , someone told me that few days ago

Does a collector's imposing mask have the same stats as one from droks?

The one from the desert does. All desert collectables are max, to the best of my knowledge.

That's correct. You have to remember that with things like this, statistics don't just stack. Here's a brief explanation using cast time as an example (I'm sure there's one somewhere else on this forum):

Chance of wand halving cast: 20% or 0.2
Chance of focus halving cast: 20% or 0.2

Chance of both working: 0.2 * 0.2 = 0.04
Chance of only wand working: 0.2 * 0.8 = 0.16
Chance of only focus working: 0.8 * 0.2 = 0.16
Thus, total chance of halving cast = 0.04 + 0.16 + 0.16 = 0.36 or 36%

Using this logic:
Chance of getting half-cast AND half-recharge with 1 20/20 = 4%
Chance of getting half-cast AND half-recharge with 2 20/20 = 12.96%

Thank you very much for this. And now we have the site Wiki, too! What a glorious time to be a mesmer.

If they both worked wouldn't the skill recharge and cast be cut to .25%?
