ok so i finally finished acp for the body and i am having so much trouble figuring out what augs on what piece to get.

What i need to know is how much fastcast is the fastcast+5%..
I have a feeling its not really +5%.

does anyone know exactly how much it would help my utsu recasts.

Thx

Edit: I meant to ask for how much recast is it, i know its 5% fastcast, but need to know recast %.

Unless I'm mistaken, it should be a 5% cast time reduction but only a 2.5% recast reduction. It's still better than anything else you can get for NIN though, no?

You'll be using it solely as a macro piece so either enmity for /DRK spells like Stun or Evasion since you will want to pretty much fulltime it for Utsusemi imo.

It's definately going to be a precast macro piece. I think i may just go with the -enm as the other.

Thx

recast time from fast cast is always half of the cast %

For what job is it for and what purpose do you have in mind?

well i havent decided yet between a utsu piece for nin, thf, mnk, rng etc OR for my blm. I'm thinking i may get alot more out of it as a precast piece for my blm then an utus piece..

But i cannot ingore it as an utus piece lol

Not entirly sure what you mean by precast, but from what I am assuming magic att / acc won't affect the spell if your switching out mid cast, nor would enmity- as well.

If my thinking is correct, then from what I am seeing you'll probably get more use out of it by taking the Wardecors and choosing your second augment for one of those jobs.

Roughly what I thought then. I still stand by what I said, though thinking on it does magic accuracy affect the spell during when casting starts or ends? If it goes at start there is your BLM piece as I just can't see attack kicking in until the spell lands.

What's your favorite job, first of all? I personally believe that if you like RNG at all, you should get Snapshot/Ranged Attack+10, since RNG is so lacking in good TP bodies. Also, you only need 50% total haste to cap Recast reduction, which, if you had 20% gear Haste, a BRD+RDM would be able to cap it easily.

well for my rng i have hunters jerkin +1, but yes i really thought about doing what you suggested but i rarely play my rng so what i got is good enough.

I play blm 90% of the time. I do alot of solo on it so i decided to make it a royal redingcoat with fastcast for my blm and then pet acc +15 for my smn, which i only use for AFB and JoF (jailer of faith).

I appreciate all the info and help.

Thanks
