Dual-casting duration perks are inconsistent #417

Closed desmok closed 2 years ago

desmok commented 2 years ago

While having the illumination perk active within the restoration tree, the spells will sometimes double their duration and sometimes wont. This seems to apply to all of the spells that the perk affects, regeneration, rapid regeneration, attunement etc.

It seems to be a 50% chance either way from what I can tell.

The perk implementation seems correct to me. You're sure you are dual casting each time, and the same spell back to back shows inconsistent behavior?

desmok commented 2 years ago

Yea very sure. It is certainly strange, after playing through my save for a bit longer, I have noticed the dual cast perk in the alteration tree is also experiencing this behavior.

A spell like ironflesh will sometime have a duration of 3 1/2 minutes, and sometimes 7. Haven't tested with the other alteration spells.

I know at least, regeneration, rapid regeneration, mutagen and attunement all suffer from this issue. And I suspect the circle spells as well, but havn't confirmed.

I also tried to reset my stats with the reset potion to see if that would fix it but to no avail :(

This is happening to me too. It is very odd how inconsistent it is.

Xgatt commented 2 years ago

Can you test it with dual casting in general? Forget the resto spells and perks. Use any spell repeatedly and see if you get the dual casting bonus.

desmok commented 2 years ago

I did test out dual casting in general a tiny bit when I reset my character and I didn't notice anything off immediately, but I will have to double check when I am next home. Can't say for certain if dual casting itself is or isnt working correctly.

Just so I know, how long is dual casting suppose to increase duration by itself?

Xgatt commented 2 years ago

So dual casting restoration spells, by default, does not increase duration. It increases magnitude. I wanted to know if dual casting in general was not giving any bonuses, based on your comment about Ironflesh. Alteration spells DO increase in duration when Dual Cast.

desmok commented 2 years ago

I reset my character and casted both stone flesh and restoration about 10 times each while dualcasting. They both gave an increased duration, that being 2 minutes 30 seconds.

There default duration is 60 seconds.
