AST Anima stat allocation

[Taika]

I do have some sources, but they're from Reddit and I don't feel like looking them up right now. ;; I can take some numbers though myself if you'd be interested. To give an idea, I healed between 400-600 more HP than my friend on straight heals and about 200 (or something like that) more on HoT ticks. I don't have his det stat though to compare with mine. Can ask and spam some heals on each other later tonight.

Please link to those sources when you have some time! I swear I've gone through every single Reddit stat thread I've been able to find and haven't found anything reliable, since Dervy hasn't done healer testing (or at least published results) and it doesn't seem like he will.

I don't do savage, nidhogg and the likes, so I'm very happy loading up on spell speed. It's pretty awesome how fast gravity can be cast outside of Lightspeed, and cures are almost instant. Also my dots are more powerful. I don't know where you got this idea of spell speed being useless >_>

Based on this post the spellspeed formula is floor(New GCD) = 2.5 - (((Current Spell Speed - 334) / 26.5) * 0.01).

The effect of spellspeed seems to be really minimal, for example based on that formula 1000 points in spellspeed would have your GCD at 2.24 (or 2.25 depending on how it's rounded up in game). That's 0.25 seconds (1/4 second) less than full cooldown, and only 0.15 seconds (1/6+ second) less than I have with having actively avoided any spellspeed gear. That is nowhere near instant (even with the 5% buff from Diurnal) and I claim you can't really even tell a difference if your cast / recast (I think there's a difference between cast and recast but I'm not sure?) is 0.25 seconds shorter than it would otherwise be and that it won't change your casting behaviour in any way (you can't start evading stuff 0.25 seconds earlier - unless you maybe have some kind of super eSports player reflexes).
