Well, ok, that posted BEFORE I finished it, but there's a SPELL ACTIVE snapshot, a skills snapshot, and a completely unedited log of casting minor water at Mikalmas while in offensive stance with no aliases or scripts doing the casting. That was all me typing prep 903, cast mika.

Any idea why my AS is variable with the same spell, same stance, etc.? Does the same thing with other bolt spells also. Just curious.

Training in Elemental Lore, Fire will cumulatively add +1 AS per seed 4 summation of ranks on consecutive bolt attacks against the same target, capped at +25 total AS boost. The AS will increase whether or not the target is successfully hit, and only while casting bolt spells. Casting at another target removes this boost.

I am not sure exactly what the extra +20 came from the lor runestaff flare, but the increasing AS is the result of Elemental Focus (513) applying +7 per cast at the same target. The amount of increase per cast is based on your fire lore training.

You have two factors adding into this.

first : Your lor crosier glows intensely with a verdant light!
this is acuity flares adding to your AS

Second : https://gswiki.play.net/Elemental_Focus_(513)

With 51 ranks of fire lore you gain +7 AS each cast until cap of 25.

You started at 343 first cast, second was 350 (+7) third was 377 (+27, +7 from 513 and you probably have 4x acuity staff) fourth was +364. so your third without the flare would have been 357, so fourth is in line with gaining +7 each time.

Probably a flare from the staff, Contemplar. Its a 5x, 4x Acuity/T4 Nerve, T3 ensorcell runestaff.
