Casting Equation Help Please.

Hey all~

I might be overthinking but i was just looking at Magoraga Beads and how potent they are.

Basically, i was wondering where the -10% goes into the equation.

I think i have the right one:

75% * (1 - 0.3)?. Am i correct in that Fast Cast V trait would be 0.3 in that equation? Reason i say 0.3 is because iirc it's 30% spellcasting -.

Also, would the magoraga beads 10% for utsusemi just mean that 0.3 would become 0.4 or would it need to be 10% of my total fast cast for the spell? I'm not sure really how the beads work.

Thanks~

I must be missing something, where is that 75% coming from?

Assuming you have your chapeau and tabard that puts you at 50% cast time reduction(30% fastcast trait + 20% gear-based) and the beads should improve that to a 60% cast time reduction.

Someone correct me if that's not how it works, I haven't actually done any field testing, only eyeballing and wiki reading.

75% because that's what spells go off @. It's not my fast cast setup. My fast cast is the 0.3 (not counting gear, keeping it simple) I thought i stated that, sorry if not obvious~

The % they fire at is already taking into account your FC/-cast.

Ichi is 4 seconds, 4*.6 = 2.4

ah of course

I wouldn't worry too much about that 75% point, it's near impossible to eyeball that stuff and I'm not even sure if it really means anything. A 10 second spell is going to cast in 10 seconds. If you add fastcast its going to calculate based off that 10 second point, not the 75%.

I'm honestly not mathy enough to give you a decent answer but fastcast caps at 80% and you'll want to aim to add to roughly 80% given that the game generally calculates this stuff in x/1024 rather than actual even %'s so your actual numbers might vary slightly.
