Cipher CC+Dbuff stats

[Andres Arigon]

Hi

I am building my Cipher as a CC + Dbuffer and I wonder which are the best stats?

Does the intellect work for the debuff duration as well or just positive buff? 

Thanks

Yes it works with debuffs duration too, IIRC the one thing it does not help with is beams duration

no? has this been timed? I assumed it was just a tooltip error

Cipher beams have a fixed duration, INT doesn't change it. I know for sure because I once played around with potential 1-INT-builds (using Ring of Mule's Wit).  

I didn't check and don't remember my ingame experience because I don't use beams much but I believe all beams work like this - but maybe the non-cipher ones are different.

There are some other things that don't work with INT like one would assume -  like the weird AoEs of Missile Salvo or Storm of Holy Fire. 
Also those "straight line" AoEs like Iconic Projection or Mind Lance etc. are unaffected by INT as well.

As far as I've experienced, all beam spells have a fixed duration not affected by INT, PL etc. But they don't all have the same duration. Antipathetic Field is 6sec, Ray of Fire/Ninagauth's Death Ray is 10sec but Ninagauth's Bitter's Mooring is 12sec for example.
