yeah that's why its never gonna happen.

It might get reduced down to a ~50% chance of consuming no stratagem, but even then i doubt it.

Then I'll probably rage or something as it constantly whiffs. ^^

Hey now can't go sayin Relic+2 and all the effect and then say "-50 enmity for free over 7INT" count the relic for Storms too its +12 int with relic+2 boots. not that its really much of a difference but some ppl might find it important :)

I'd much rather have -50 enmity cures and nukes than the ability to give people +12 (or +6) to stats.

I've literally had Modus Veritas land once recently in a series of VW events that included bastok/windurst climb and some Jeuno T1's. I can go an entire night with it not landing, extremely annoying. >_>

Dear dev. team: Please make it more accurate so that we scholars don't go crazy trying to make our only unique stagger take place. We get it, it's not supposed to land all the time, but the way it is right now, it's terrible, even with a 3 minute recast. We get it, VW shouldn't be all about temps/staggering, doesn't mean the situation with Modus is any less frustrating.

I have -50 enmity cures already (or close to it), but with fully meritted -enmity strat though you could have -75% enmity cures (because strats stack multiplicatively with gear -enmity.

I knew that. Regardless my point remains the same.

That's true, but looking at it from another perspective you could avoid swapping into -enmity gear, using better gear for other purposes (more damage/potency/whatever) and gaining lots of precious inventory slots.

But anyway this talk is moot, I seriously doubt they're gonna give us free stratagems.

Using a stratagem takes time, and it can be the difference between a life saving cure IV, and a dead party comrade.
Even if they are free, they still takes time to use, seems balanced to me.

Theoretically, since the stratgem would be free, instead of using right before you cast the spell, you could just spam it all the time when your not casting anything (when no one needs immediate cures for example) and not have to worry about wasting stratgems.
