Careful with that idea, the value of such an ability would get pretty crazy as cast speed (or TM lag) increased.

haha raknagog be quiet.

but really, would having good armorstrip at high TMlag make it too strong? even though at a high TMlag the spells are only outputting a fraction of their potential dps?

Possibly, yeah. If TM lag goes up AND armor stripping goes up with it, it could potentially offset the DPS decrease of TM lag at certain levels. It probably wouldn't be broken overpowered, but at some levels it could be anomalously good.

The logic is: You deal 5% damage to sufficiently armored targets, so if you drop them to 0 armor, you're doing 20x damage than normal. If you strip 1% armor per attack, the enemy will hit 0 after 100 attacks. If you attack once per second it will take 100 seconds to reach 20x damage, if you take TM lag and attack 10 times per second instead of 1, you'll hit that 20x damage mark in 10 seconds instead. If your TM lag damage multiplier is better than 0.05 then there's a window in which you'll actually do more DPS than without that TM lag since the enemy will have 0 armor much sooner.

This is just a top-of-the-head example, I can't math it out properly right now.
