Fast Cast

From HorizonXI Wiki

Quickens spellcasting.

  • Reduces both spell casting time, and the recast time.
    • Recast reduction is half of the cast time reduction, rounded down to the nearest whole percentage.
    • While Fast Cast may be swapped out before a spell goes off to still reduce the casting time. It must remain equipped during the casting of the spell to reduce recast time.
  • Casting Time reduction cap is 80%.
    • Thus, Fast Cast's maximum contribution to recast reduction is 40%.
  • Tier 1 is 10%/2.5% HorizonXI specific changes fast cast,
    • This increases by 5% fast cast for casting, and 1.25% HorizonXI specific changes reduction in recast per tier.
  • stacks with gear, and When trying to determine the recast when combining fast cast and haste, it's important to know the order in which they are applied. Haste is applied first, and then truncated to the 10ths place. Fast Cast is then applied to the truncated number. The number is then floored(decimal truncated) for the final recast value. The equation would look something like this: New Recast = floor( [1-Fast Cast] * ( [1-Haste] * Recast ) ) (Round to the 10ths place after each step.)
