in all seriousness-- why do people come up with all these theories about amp casting?

the way it works is this:

1) a cursed monster has 50% chance of casting amp when he does damage
2) when its just a cursed without an aura, he has to hit stuff to cast. when he hits, it only has half a chance, meaning it can take several hits
3) when it has a holy aura, the ticks do damage, thus, each tick is damage to an AOE, so even though each tick hit only has like half the prob of casting on each individual monster, because it hits a large area of monsters, it is a guarantteed proc
4) holy fire has the largest level, so it's radius is the largest-- meaning it will appear to cast the fastest

things that don't work: making ur merc cast holy auras or thorns because it has nothing to do with the cursed monster doing damage.
