Blue Mage "Fast Cast" Trait + Isador

[Prothscar]

Recent testing by others and then consecutive testing by myself indicates that the Isador's "Fast Cast" enhancement as well as the "Fast Cast" trait that we're able to set via spell combos have both been nerfed from 10% each to 5% each.

Is there a reason for this? Was it intentional? Insight would be appreciated, as in the current state, not only is the trait half the strength of a RDM's tier 1 trait, but it isn't worth a whopping 9 set points. The sword is understandable but still, why nerf ours when Hochomasamune remains at 10%?

If this could be forwarded to the Dev Team and some light could be shed on the situation, it would be appreciated.



Also, unrelated, the change to how blue magic is sorted every time you change subs or enter a level capped area is annoying.

Wait! Calling it now, lv99 almace will have fast cast 10% !! Enjoy :P

[Prothscar]

Brochain will have 2% Spell Interrupt. Enjoy!

[Zigfreid]

I'd seriously slap someone for that.

Link to testing Now or this is a troll thread.
and you best have some crazy Testing.

You are incredibly dense if you think it requires "crazy testing." Equip metallic body with no fast cast, cast it. You'll see that it's a 60 sec recast. Now equip fast cast and notice the results.

just tested and i tested before i posted and still 10% on sword

Traits being changed will never happen also because its not something like a quick fixed Equipment slot. and it would break for RDM too.

yes still 20% to casting times and -10% to recasting times with both sword and trait.

5% of 60 is 2, is it? You're wrong.

Metallic Body with trait = 58 seconds.
Metallic Body with sword = 58 seconds.

For further proof, both equipped would be 10%. 10% of 60 is 6, 60-6 = 54.

Metallic Body with trait and sword = 57 seconds.

Face palming even more now ....

60*.05=3 therefore the 57

i also got 54 with both on so you must just be retarded.









ALSOOOOOOOO if it was 5% fastcast and 2.5% recast than you would be getting 59 with just 1 and 57 with both because 60*0.025 = 1.5 and remainders are cut off NOT rounded up.

[Prothscar]

Or you have absolutely no idea what you're doing. 57 would be the appropriate value, but with one trait it's 58. To be precise, it's 57.5
