At about 260 it was taking me 10+ casts per skillup, after the patch it's taking about 6 casts."</p></blockquote> <p>I don't trust the first number (10+ at 260), so I'm not at all sure I trust the second: The classic <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/role_of_skill.html">Noressa/Highlander/Ardeaem/Tedeum data</a> suggest about 8 catches per point. Plus the poster states "casts", and casts have never been what determines skill gains (unless all your casts are catches).</p> <p>Unfortunately changes to the skill-up formulae are a real pain to test ;-) . Does anyone have any reliable information on this? </p>
