If I use the Base=19 (I was using 20, because I thought lightning had a base of 19, then base+1=20) everything goes perfectly. I was confused by Rogue's post at the bottom of the AB thread, saying 35 FCR = a 15 frame lightning. Your table (and now mine) say 35 FCR = a 14 frame lightning. I though that a 'tick' was a frame -1, but apparantly it is not.
I tested 0% fcr lightning and got 19 frames (120 seconds / 150 casts * 25). So the base of the lightning spell is actually 19, not 20 as I had suspected.
I tested 0% fcr enchant and got 13 frames (120 seconds / 229 casts * 25). So the base of the enchant spell is really 14, not the base 0% fcr framerate like lightning.
THIS is what confused me so. It seems lightning does not use the 0% fcr framerate +1 as its base like SC animations do, and just uses the 0% fcr framerate as the base. Also, the formula says that 0% FCR = 18 frames. It is, in fact, 19 frames, so the formula simply does not have a -1 on the end for lightning.
I also tested each of your lightning breakpoints, and they all seem to be correct, but I did not actually gather any data on it, just that the breakpoint fcr -1 was slower than the breakpoint.
Many thanks, myrdinn, for your help on this, it was really driving me crazy. If any of my conclusions are wrong, please tell me so I can fix them.
