Talk:Proficiencies

Does anyone know if it is possible to gain proficiency on missed attacks? I'll PM Tenboro about it if no one knows. --Boggyb 23:53, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

• Considering that you definitely gain prof on resisted spells, which is essentially the same thing as a missed attack, I'd say "yes." Plus, I'm pretty sure I've seen my 2H prof go up from misses, since they're so damn common. --Coredumperror 09:14, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
  • 51 2 Manthra evades your attack.
  • 51 1 You gain 0.02 points of one-handed weapon proficiency.

Do Magical Proficiencies increase the effect or duration of the procs of attack spells? --Boggyb 01:08, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

• I'm reasonably certain that it doesn't increase duration, since the elemental and holy ones last 4 ticks for me, which is just as long as they did at the early levels. --Coredumperror 09:14, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

No idea on either of the above. Should we list the numerical effects/formulas of proficiencies on certain things and then mirror them on the respective pages as well? --cmal 21:11, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

People don't only not gain proficiencies when defending. Any other "skipping" of a turn prevents proficiency gain. Which makes me wonder, should we make a page for known errors/bugs?-Boggyb (I don't feel like logging in on my phone)

So does that also count for casting a spell with insufficient mana or using Focus? What about using Spirit with insufficient OC/zero SP? Trying to use an item on mobs actually uses it on you now, so does that count as well? And it might be a good idea to create a page about bugs. --cmal 02:37, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

• Using Focus counts as skipping your turn. Failing to cast a spell due to insufficient mana, however, does not. It also causes a bug that makes the target of that spell immediately lose Coalesced Mana. --Coredumperror 09:14, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
