Precast:
Midcast:
Am I missing anything? This would be the latest and greatest no?
Precasting the mantle and midcasting the earring do nothing.
Athos's Chapeau is not 5% fast cast as was stated above; BGwiki currently lists it as 2% fast cast.
Ok... this looks to be "the best" utsu pre/end cast sets.
Pre-Cast: (insta-cast and cast speed are the only factors)
Katana 10%
Head 2%
Body 5%
Neck 10%
Hands 4%
Ring 2%
Ear 2%
Feet 4% (if you are lucky like that)
Ammo + ring + ear = 6% insta-cast
~39% casting time reduction and a 6% chance to insta-cast
Mid-Cast: (spell recast reduction is the only factor here)
Katana 5%
Head 6%
Body 4%
Back (-1 off recast w/e that means, 1 second?)
Neck 2.5%
Hands 4%
Waist 6%
Ear 1%
Ring 1%
Legs 4%
Feet 4%
36.5% total recast reduction and maybe another second off from the back, that is just in gear alone. Fast cast that we can equip should get us another ~10% or so reduction off of gear reduction strictly through haste. That is pretty cool.
Interesting note, if you wanted to add Koga hands into your mid-cast set, you will gain 1% to your recast time over Thaumas, but gain NTE....
Anything I am missing at this point? That is very impressive recast.
With just /rdm you are looking at a 54% casting time reduction and 44% recast reduction.
20% from marches a conservative estimate and another 15% haste spell puts our new recast down to... ~79% recast....
I think we can hit the recast cap now fellas, if your bard is above average at all then we can prolly omit some spells.
