don't know if it actually works(don't have any p/k friends), but some1 told me that using "last prayer" (p/k elite) before trying to take the tower will cap it in 1 sec
my r/p can outdps r/m. your name is stupid.

errr it was p/s and k/p that did it in less then 8sec with all the traps (flames and electrics) and guards still up, granted they got fearless but they still shouldnt have been able to get near the tower and capture it in the last 8 sec

try using ancient spirit water...faster cast time = faster cap on the tower.

I'm pretty sure casting speed doesn't work, tower capping doesn't count as casting a spell. Most people either confuse it with lag (sometimes tower cap alarm doesn't sound even when its being capped), or Holy Aura + Fearless, allowing them to still have fearless even after capping finishes, giving the appearence of a shorter cap time than 15 seconds.

Although there could also be some unknown trick/buff that does it. Its hard to say, unless whoever did it is willing to tell. And they usually aren't...

it wasnt lag as all the ppl in our guild got the warning at the 8sec remaining mark (u can c the timer now in sw). even with holy aura + fearlessu still have less then 15 sec needed to capture a tower, also they will have to use it first to get to the tower (to avoid traps fearing them) and then that leave even less time to get the tower.


ok we will c if either the p/k skill or ancient spirit+ arcane potion work tonight

If ancient spirit water and arcane potion work.. so would curse runes and clear thought. But they don't make any difference. I still have a 15 second tower cap..

I don't know the answer, but I've seen same phenomenon as OP. There is *some* way to do it, legit or not.

Oh, and people who have more than 3 classes are clinically insane.

Would be pretty awesome if it did. As Mage, our 5 min CD gives 50% casting speed + ASW + Arcane + Fire training = 4 second cap lol.

+ guitar too? :p

so what we r looking for is a speeding up channelling time buff... i dont think there is 1 is there? and can we get a GM to tell us if this is considered a hack/exploit or not?
