Well considering the fact that we are talking about a max we disregard the % and assume that 100% regeneration rate occurs.

Personally, I like to cast 12 consecutive seekers, then alternate 3 hit trinity -> 1-2 seekers. That pattern is generally safe.

@Anthoy84: It doesn't in game though.

the question is how many the game can handle before it, buggy as it is, crashes. i find that it almost always closes on me when i use the 100% recharge hyper and spam soul seeker.

@CaptCandy [url=http://www.southperry.net/showthread.php?t=58838]KMS Extractions show two skills for Soul Seeker, one for the skill and one for the bullet.[/url]

[url=http://www.southperry.net/showthread.php?t=62546]GMS Extractions, however, only show one skill, the bullet (which is why the Recharge rate is 80%).[/url]

It's strange that the skill's description is unlisted in extractions, but present in-game.

There is no limit. Get more ABs until your computer crashes.

@laurico: Proof?

[quote=CaptCandy]@laurico: Yes it was nerfed, it shows it on my skill description that the regeneration rate is 60%.[/quote]

first regeneration: 60%

Second regeneration: 80%

Third regeneration: 80%

n(where n is over 1) regeneration: 80%

its a bug that pends fixing, since the 80% isnt listed anywhere on the skill description but its still on the data and being applied to the skill.

[quote=CaptCandy]You forgot that it was nerfed.[/quote]

No it wasnt.

Anyways it isnt supposed to be 90% after first recreations since it doesnt say it anywhere on the skill description, but still wanted to show you how your calculations were wrong.

Title: Highest amount of orbs on screen

I think you know where you went wrong here.

[quote=laurico]You forget that the recreation rate gets increased to 80%(90% with hyper) after the first recreation. Which will lead to a way higher number, if i recall right it is arround 35-40.[/quote]

You forgot that it was nerfed.

The right answer is it will dc you. The one trick to playing an AB is knowing your limit of seekers because if you just toss them out like crazy you WILL dc not only yourself but most of your party.

Pretty sure I've had almost 100 before it lagged me out haha.

@qwerty458: 70% regeneration rate makes a geometric series of SUM(.7^n)for n=1toinfinity = 1/(1-.7) = 3.33333333 attacks per orb

4 orbs are casted per attack, so 4 * 3.333333 = 13.3333333

The theoretical limit is 13.3333333 orbs.
