ISO: Dam ordering and Zon FCR

Hello,

Had a few quick question.

1) Does anybody know the formula in which damage modifiers are tallied up.

For instance, have a 40/15 in your bow is not the same as having a 40/15 in your helmet, is it? Having a 40/15 in sword may not be as good as having a +3 max dam in your inventory?

This is in reference to pure physical damage only without any consideration for speed. Just looking for this formula is all.

2) Does anybody know the FCR breakpoints for a Zon? For instance, battle dropping a dumb blonde or a decoy, can you significantly shorten this cast time with some good FCR?

Thanks,
Shad

no it's not

ed% in weapons
adds to base damage

ed% in non weapon gear (shield/helm/armor) would be 1.4*overall min-max damage

+15 max is same on and off weapon
same for charm, +3 max charm=+3 of maiming (?) suffix or jewel

edit : i'll check for you but only good way to get fcr for a zon for zVz is

10-11%ll /10fcr rings and 08 valk (30frw fcr ias)

Thanks Apoq...

I was fighting between these two setups to get 75% IAS for 8/2, I'm not sure 7/2 is worth it...

In both cases use:
1 x 20IAS glove

Case 1:
2 x 40/15IAS in a bow
1 x 40/15IAS in helm
1 x 40/15IAS in armor

Case 2:
2 x Shael in bow
1x 40/15IAS in helm
*this will free my armor for 1 x Shael to help me
hit 32% FHR, not sure whether this is worth it either

Also I looked around and the only faq on Zon FCR was at at dii.net but had some really old timey fudge numbers from 1.04... no break point info

Frames FCR 19 0 18 7 17 14 16 22 15 32 14 48 13 68 12 99 11 152

Something like that.

Man that sucks... thanks Sen

No Problem.
Zon has the slowest cast rate out of all character, I think. Well, you can't be good at everything.

i would go for the 14 frame cast cham 08 valk 2X 10-11 ll rings with 10% fcr on each
