    Hello,

    Which is the best build to accessories, armor and manastones to use on chanter?

    I was told not use mystic armor; and to add crit on everything, its a magical class, isnt it?

    Which transformation? attack speed or casting speed?

    Chanter is a physical class and uses Casting & Attack speed, Attack speed in the dps skills and Casting speed in the healing skills.
    Mystic chain armors are sets for Aethertechs and Clerics, which are magical classes, u wont need this.
    You should use attack speed transformation, and when you finally get a legendary att speed transformation you should be using casting speed scrolls to help with the casting a bit, because legendary att speed transformation reaches the max attack speed without scroll and candy(yes, you can stack candy and transformation).
    As for the manastones, i would go for full crit, but people like to say that manastone build is a personal choice, youre going to find your way there.

    Will just say about weapon, since access+set is obvious, chant is a physical class...staff: Ultimate Drunken Lakrum fused to Ultimate Drunken Lakarum (extend+extend). As for now, physical crit is capped to 10% hence 1600 is literally enough. Will be surely fixed. In case things will work properly, i would go 30 phys crit and the rest phys attack...we have minions and crit scrolls which give crit (maybe even more phys attack).
    Chant needs cast+attack. SHEBA will be your main transformation, you have max attack speed and some cast speed as well (needed for cast heals x2 "Healing Burst" and "Healing Light") PLUS, you can use cast speed scrolls to add some more cast speed. Anyway, IMO: scrolls will ruin the pvp balance and cast+attack+movement reduction altered states won't affect that much...will see! Other useful transform will be Tahabata needed for quick heals when necessary.

    talk about chanter and it's casting speed , did anyone notice that "word of quickness" skill bug ?
    i mean it has no effect at all. which should reduce casting speed by 50 %.

    It doesn't increase casting speed. The skill works as intended, reduces casting time of magical skills (heals) by 50%. Obviously you won't notice the difference if have like 0.4-0.3 casting speed.

    with sheba only ( without casting speed scroll and title ) you can only reach 0.7 cspd.
    so you are saying 0.7 + 50 % buff no any better than 0.4 ?
    try using sheba + woq and compare it with taha's 0.4.

    Dude, read. If your cast speed is 0.7 with sheba and use WOQ, you will notice the difference which is like half of cast time without WOQ (test it using timer). While, if you use tahabata with 0.4/0.3 cast speed +WOQ, you will not notice any difference because that kind of cast speed is already the top cap. Same thing applies to sorc...

    did i say i use taha + woq ?
    i am saying that i use woq in 0.7 cspd and it has no effect at all.
    if i use taha , i didn't bother to use that skill bcz i know i won't gain much since the cspd itself are capped.
    you should be the one to read first what i am talking.

    My last words for this topic:
    there's no problem with WOQ cast reduction effect, works as intended for me. Compare it on retail too, if you want.

    Chanters have three different roles:
    1. Full Physical DPS Type
    2. Full Support Heal/Buff type
    3. Hybrid Type (Dual Physical/Support)
    FULL PHYSICAL CHANTER:
    This type mostly consist of Physical Damages and Critical Stats which is mainly used for DPS. Statistically, DPS chanter are mostly used for solo PVP although catering buffs for a party is sustainable, still this type is low in supporting teammates.

    FULL SUPPORT HEAL/BUFF:
    Heals ang buffs are usually important for team PVP. Chanters have the most essential teams buffs than any other classes. This type caters the full capability of chanters specially in raids, boss hunts and PVP. Casting Speed are more often important ratio for this build.

    HYBRID - DUAL PHYSICAL/SUPPORT
    Hybrid type is actually the third option. You need to have 2 or more sets for this build. Switching between MR set to Physical DPS set or vice versa, also this includes switching of weapons with different manastones settings. This build drastically change every aspect of PVP when using Chanter. You can support at the same time you can DPS. But take note, this build needs a lot of expertise to attain.

    For now, the difference is very low. Just a bit more pvp attack/defense with Cloud-War. Cloud-War is end-game gear anyway...don't complain, 2010 player and do i really need to remember you years ago gear was 3k per part and ppl were selling woc2 for 14k creds and rare remos as well? o_O The only annoying part is wasting time enchanting and retuning, but since you can do nothing special in game, deal with and go on...
