Just tested petrify at 160 align. Last 10 minutes 10 seconds, with the same appraisal at a 40 align. It dropped my spirit pool down to 8%.

I utilized a formula given to me, backed up by the data collected (Thanks to Teeklin, as well as Teeklin and Jalika respectively).

Formula is: C * 3 + D + (w+i)/2

This determines how much you can align before you go kaput.

Spirit health pulses 4%, regardless of your stats.^

In order for you to keep up a beseech continuously

P = A / l

where:
P = Your pool
A = Amount you're aligning
l = Percentage of Pool you regenerate durring a beseech's duration

For example, Beseech to Petrify lasts just over 6 minutes.

This means you pulse thrice, since a Spirit health pulse is 2 minutes, which results in 4 * 6/2 = 12.

So, you'll recover 12% of your spirit health* durring the beseech.

We've found that Beseech to Petrify caps at 40, and has little effect at 30 alignment, so, assume 40.

40 / 12% = 333.

So, your pool must be 333 spirit points.

To give an idea, if you had 60 charisma, 40 Int, Wis, and Disc, you'd have a spirit pool of 180 + 40 + 40 = 260.

Meaning, you would be unable to keep the beseech up constantly.

Yikes. No good. No good at all.


Enjoy.

ps, if you notice any mathematical errors (always quite possible), please point them out.




^atleast within the subset of data collected, and I assume is true. I also assume it's either slightly above or slightly below 4%, but for the context of this analysis, it will do)
*well, sometimes more or less depending on where you catch the pulse

Very interesting!

I didn't see the formula for figuring out your pool size though...would you mind posting that also?

Thanks!

<<Formula is: C * 3 + D + (w+i)/2

c -> charisma
d -> disc
w -> wisdom
i -> intel
