does anyone know if there are other focus effects like this for spells above 65 with the new oow. I couldnt find one because its probably named torment of the dragorn or somthing silly, if you see one let me know.
But as with most extensions such as focus and AA it rounds up the tic not down so in my experience itr does add 2 tics to almost all dots ive done so far.
This aug does add some to the duration of all shm determental ot spells, but what it doesn't tell you is that it adds a max of 2 ticks. Malos lasts 14min reg and only 14:12min with this aug, that is not +10% duration. Casted it on myself numberous times and got same duration everytime.... Just thought i might get that out, i think this aug is truely meant for dots, but it works on slows and other debuffs.
Does anyone know if this will increase the duration of a slow if it comes from a proc? OR a snare that comes from an aa ability button, OR a root that comes from a clicky item effect?
Just wondering if this only affects spells that you actually CAST from your spellbook or if it will affect these other detrimental things as well to make them last longer.
Not sure if the item description is correct. I also confirmed that it added 2 ticks to Bane, where normal Bane is 5 ticks and the extended version is 7 ticks. I did multiple counts and it always comes up 7. With affliction haste, affliction efficiency, burning affliction and critical affliction 3 (aa), damage output was nice for my shaman. You solo some pretty tough mobs non-stop.
Can someone please verify that this adds a tick of damage to dots less then 60 seconds in length. I was told by someone who has this that it only adds ticks to his dots that last 60 seconds or more (10pct of 60 seconds=6 seconds or a tick). He said his 45 second dot and similar got no bonus from this.
The augment is not extended torment 4 anymore but extended affliction 4. I do not know the difference anymore, but what burning affliction did back when it first came out is extend the tick time. Then they changed it to 20% more dmg pet tick so essentially the same dmg but in a shorter period of time. Now this augment has extended affliction 4 (not extended torment 4). If it is like it used to be then it is also not 10% anymore but up to 20% extended in time.
I have almost every focus effect a necro can have when it comes to diversity. What happens is that the highest level of the "type" of focus is used. For example.. if you had a mana preservation focus that was 15% and then got one that was 20%, when you cast a spell that used the focus it would use the 20% focus item to cast. What it does NOT do is stack them together (ie 35%).
Now.. all the affliction focuses stack. Affliction Efficiency - check on initial cast Affliction Haste - Upon each tick Burning Affliction - Upon each tick Extended Affliction - added to duration at cast time.
They all work together to give you the most dmg at the lowest mana cost.
So, What about Root, Slow, and Mez - does it extend these? I remember when the Extended Affliction supported these then later didn't. Anybody know if this is any different?
The difference between Extended Torment and Extended Affliction is that this focus has no "Limit: (HPs allowed)" restriction on it. Since Extended Affliction had that restriction, it only worked on dots and nothing else, since all other detrimental spells did not directly affect hp.
This focus will work with root, slow, mes, dots, and any debuffs, as long as their duration is at least 24 seconds.
The bad news: I saw some tests of the plane of time version of this. It appears that it actually adds a random (1 to 10) percent to duration... much like how the improved damage focuses work. That would make it quite unreliable.
The good news: It also seems to add a minimum of one tick, never zero. This means any under-2-minute spell will always be extended exactly one tick -- very reliable.

This augment adds two extra ticks to bane regular = 5 ticks extended = 7 ticks
Pretty nice aprox 950 more damage for same mana with Extended affliction IV too :)
My math sucks but, this is what you are telling us... 10% of 30 = 12. Obviously not correct...
To get 2 ticks added on to bane you would need a 40% extension, last I checked 25% was the longest extender in the game, and this one is only 1/4th what you would need (10%).
If this item extends 40%, (I would bet lefty that it does not.) it would throw the whole game out of balance.
Actually, Pantherman may be right with his calculations.(If that is what they are. By the sound of things he has actually done testing in the field.)
It has been known for a while, especially among the necromancer community, that virtually all dots work for an extra tick than their listed durations.
We like to refer to it as "the 0 tick", if you will.
So, the Extended Torment IV item that Pantherman owns is actually only extending it one tick at the most.
Where the debate begins is regarding the subject of how Sony does the math regarding these extended items, eg. Rounding up or Rounding down on the ticks, and if they even go by ticks or seconds.
The poster's observation of the shaman dot "Bane" would seem to suggest that Sony rounds the ticks up for the Extended Torment IV focus, since 10% of 5 ticks is 5.5 ticks, and Pantherman says it did indeed extend the duration of the spell to 6 ticks. (Plus one extra tick from "the 0 tick")
Some also believe that Extended Torment IV provides a random 1-10% increase of spell duration, but no one knows the answer to that for sure yet since nobody has done the sufficient testing which is necessary in order to prove it.
I beleive this in the DoT extending focus effect. So a DoT that lasts 1 minute (60 seconds) will last an extra tic (6 seconds). At least that's the way I understand it.
