Muscle Memory with berzerker blade

[Cooliwhip]

From what I can tell Muscle Memory, which gives 2 additional spell casts (at level 1) per accumulated spell cast does not work with the berzerker blade which gives X number of additional casts for each incantation for every Furious Strike. I was hoping they would work off each other, as the blade would grant spell casts (as it says it does) and Muscle Memory would grant additional casts for each spell cast (as it says it does). I tested this as Oni with only 1 accumulated spell on my bar with furious strike on a fresh start. The blade gave 40 additional casts, and I had level 1 MM, so after casting furious strike 1 time, I saw that the inc spell had 40 casts (not 120) and on the Oni tool tip total number of incantation spells cast was also 40, not 120. I don't know if this is the intended outcome?

Yeah we asked about this in conjunction with JMS on archon. Muscle memory only makes accumulated casts go up from actual casts of that spell. So if you were to put on all your incantanion duration reductions + Scryer's ball you can spam the casts pretty quickly and get more accumulated casts. Not sure what class would use it as Oni and Archon are the biggest scalers off accumulated that i know and they have WAY better methods.

Desolator and temporalist would seem to be the main beneficiaries.

I haven't tried Heretic since the update, but wouldn't the new accumulated spell it got also work well?

[MrBall]

It'd impact it but i did a run of a few hours and that spell doesn't seem to scale signficantly with casts. It wouldn't hurt but I didn't feel like it'd make a huge difference. Temporalist makes the most sense, since it has several accumulated spells and it builds its casts with Temporal distortion which would scale with Muscle memory unlike Bezerker blade or JMS

[PseudonymousBosh]

Temporalist does well, but I'd say desolator should be better: more accumulated spells, and unlike temporalist, most of them are worth stacking.
