#132, "Make accelerate negated frist"


          

I've noticed that when you are affected by metabolic quickening and accelerate, and use metabolic slowing, it negates the quickening first, and then the accelerate. Since accelerate is clearly the more deterimental spell, could we make that one negated first? When a transmuter is casting all this stuff on himself, it makes sense that he would want the accelerate gone first (and sometimes ONLY the accelerate). If someone has haste (or quickening) and gets accelerated offensively, it also make sense that he would want to remove the maladiction (accelerate), rather than the haste (or quickening) which tends to be more beneficial than harmful.

(I'm using haste and quickening interchangeably here because I'm assuming it works the same way with both. However, this is merely assumption since I've never had an opportunity to test the order of negation with actual haste and accelerate. But with quickening I do know)

You are optimizing for the scenario where you are working with your groupmates...how about when you are trying to fight someone? Do you want it to strip accelerate first then? You can't have both. I think the way it is currently is the best way (since this is an offensive spell).

So long, and thanks for all the fish!
