Recast Time is the amount of time a player must wait before casting the same spell, or using the same job ability (or ability within the same category) again.

  • Recast Time can be reduced by Haste effects or the job trait Fast Cast.
  • The maximum amount that recast time can be reduced by is 50% reduction.
  • New Recast = floor( [1-Fast Cast] * ( [1-Haste] * Recast ) )
  • The actual formula takes Haste and Fast Cast as fractions expressed in the 1024 system (x% haste on a gear generally means x*10/1024)
  • The game first caclulates the haste part and rounds it down to the first decimal, which means the actual recast is

New Recast = floor( [1-Fast Cast] * floor(( [1-Haste] * Recast )*10)/10 ) which is the formula that should be used when comparing different sets of gear.( source : http://www.bluegartrls.com/forum/61643-fast-cast-other-haste-stuff.html and http://www.bluegartrls.com/forum/52417-yey-another-haste-topic.html)
