Critical damage cap @100% now WHY?

[Greatguardian]

Huh? Must have missed that. Casting time or Recast time? Or both?

Both that I've heard of. Spells going off at the 20% mark and Reraise having 44 second or lower recast have both been reported (the latter by Rdm only, no idea if this applies to recast reduction given by Haste). No personal testing to speak of though, since I don't think I've been on Rdm in months. I could go give it a whirl with my rdm and my brd mule later today.

I've not tested it yet, but I'd bet one million that -BP cap wasn't changed at all. After all, can't uncap anything related to pet jobs.

[Byrth]

I would also bet that, because they did not say it was changed.

Did you mean 24s? Reraise has an innate recast of 60s, so 44s wouldn't be anything special.

I just did a quick test on BRD, and at least Haste doesn't seem to be affected. With 55% total haste and 4% Fast Cast, recast for Reraise should have been under 27s, but it was still 30s.

Did the same test on SCH with Light Arts/Celerity, 14% Haste and 4% Fast Cast, still stuck at 30s, so SCH native recast reduction doesn't help either.

Let a friend do it on RDM with major Fast Cast items and high Haste in gear with double March + Haste, still only 30s on Reraise.

Tried it again on BRD with Harmony Cape and Aoidos' Rhingrave +2 for direct recast reduction (Song recast -9), with 61% Haste, still nothing.

The only thing I noticed a change in was casting time. It's not really easy to judge with BRD, but Minstrel's Ring and other items I was able to push casting time from 4s to noticeably under 2s, with Nightingale it was almost instant. So my conclusion is the casting time reduction cap definitely received an upgrade, but the recast time did not.

D'oh, yes, I meant 24s. It's good to see some confirmation either way though! Even if Recast stays capped at -50%, getting casting time down is pretty cool.

I mean None critical weaponskilling jobs where not behind enough already?

Total Crap that my Empyrean great sword is more or less town gear now that my full perle war is way stronger

I mean really SE give all jobs a Critical weaponskill or stop making them overpowered more and more every update.

This has nothing to do with the WSs themselves.
