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%.
