Question on Twincast (spell, not AA)

    Hey everyone, I've implemented some of the suggestions in my thread about healing, one of which was keeping Twincast loaded (ashamed to say, I'd never used it before). My question is twofold.

    1 - ZAM and Lucy show it as being 3 ticks, and I have 85% buff extension from SCR AAs, but when I cast it, it's 20 seconds (not 3 ticks, and not 3 ticks * 1.85). Anyone know what's up with that?

    2 - Looking at ranks 1, 2, and 3 on ZAM, they all look exactly the same. I have rank 2, but can't see where ranks 1 and 3 are any different. Anyone know?

    Thanks,
    Tat

    Looks like the recast time goes down with each rank.

    Yep, down 40 seconds in rank 2, and 20 more in rank 3. Thanks for pointing that out, I was looking at everything BUT recast time, LOL!

    Any ideas on the other part of my question?

    OK, good to know, thanks. I'm guessing, then, that the reason I saw 20 seconds is because I cast it 2 seconds before the tick, so I got lucky.

    Thanks, Aanuvane and Brudal, for the help :)

    Yes, sometimes the phantom tic helps.
