Recast Time
Revision as of 12:20, 25 May 2010 by *>Seedling
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.
- Gear that reads Enhances "Fast Cast" effect will lower Recast Time.
- Gear that reads "Fast Cast"+x only affects Cast Time, not Recast Time.
- 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 calculates 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)
