Fast Cast

Job Trait Overview

• Game Description: Quickens spellcasting.
• Job Traits are always active.

Effect Overview

• Reduces both the Cast Time and the Recast Time of the spell. Fast Cast gear MUST remain equipped to gain the Recast Time effect
• Fast Cast recast reduction is calculated first. Then the reduced recast value is reduced further by haste gear. See Talk:Fast Cast for testing details.
• Gear with Enhances "Fast Cast" effect affects both Cast Time and Recast Time.
• Related effect of Haste (and Slow) affects only Recast Time.
• Recast Time cannot be reduced by more than 50%.
• Fast Cast Recast Time % is half the Cast Time %.
• Fast Cast cannot reduce Recast Time by more than 25% (50% of Fast Cast).
• Fast Cast stacks with the Cast Time and Recast Time modifying effects of Light Arts, Dark Arts and Composure.
• Keep in mind that Cast Time used here means the amount of time for the spell progress bar to reach 75%. Since the calculation is a multiplication, for someone with Fast Cast 1 the spell goes off at 75% * (1 - 0.1) = 67.5%.
