Cure spell casting
Hi fellow whitemages :)
Does anyone know if cure spell casting time has a cap? I am at 48% from gear plus I have full merits on it as well and I was thinking if that is over kill. I'll assume it caps same as fast cast, which caps at 80% total -casting time now, also Hii!! :D
Edit: But well, if you reach 80% it might cast too fast for spellcast to properly equp precast-midcast gear, just keep that in mind :p 50-60% seems to work very well for me Hi Kvazz :D :D :D
56-60% o.O - Can you show me what gear you have on your sets? I would love to see - I am trying to make the best whm evah! :D The issue with going too high on -casting time is that it will not be possible, through your own reactions or those of a script like Spellcast, to swap into potency gear before the spell launches. It may not cap until a higher point, but to be honest the real cap is however fast you can push it to until the spell loses a large amount of power from not being capable of swapping into potency gear.
50-60% total -casting time*
20% from merits 10% from light arts 10% from nq fake-akvan body 10% from nares cap 12% from orison legs +2 2% from loq earring Offline

main / sub:
either genbu(up to 8%) + vejovis wantd (3%) 10%, or the magian staff with 14% neck: orison locket 5% or aceso's ammo: incantor stone 2% head: nares 10% body heka's 15% ear: loq 2% ring: prolix 2% cape: swithe 3% belt: witful 3% legs: orison 12% feet: cure clogs 15% 20% merits = 99 - 108% from gear and merits total if I did my math right There is also LA 10% (multiplicative I think) from sch or 15% fc from RDM The cap is only 80% though 72~76 seems to be just right, with the rare off chance that it misses the gear swap. If counting fast cast into your pre-cast cure set, which I personally do.
20% from merits, 10% from light arts, 15% from Heka's, 12% from Orison +2 legs, 2% loq, 2% Prolix, 15% Cure clogs - Nets 76 which is right in what I call my sweet spot. If I push it higher it tends to not swap. It depends on prefence - some people prefer a weaker cure to go off faster for the *potential* to save a life, but 74-80 isn't going to be a huge difference except dropping a 1k+ cure 4 down to 700-800 based on what gear managed to change. In VW if not using clusters that 800 is a typical TP move when procs are lacking/fana's are down - so up to you. :) Edited because I forgot something. D: Yeaaaaah, I think I am fine.
I didnt actually think about fast cast when I was looking at cure spell cast -... Cos I have Witful Belt, Swith Cape and Loq.earring as well ... I guess next thing I try to get is MND gear. My cure potency already is ott -.- Anyone have a decent spellcast that I could abuse? This one works alright... I compiled it at 6AM in about 10 minutes and only use the job once every 6 Harvest Moons, so you may want to find a better one, but it does whatever you'll need it to aside from swap for Light Obi and uh... probably something that a hardcore WHM will be able to point out.

I completely forgot that I use cure clogs aswell, hmm
I suppose I'm at 79% without issues then >_>
Shiiit I never even put Nares hat into mine. Oh well.
Added my stuff and found that I had 89% in total in my precast set lol... And I have had issues with cures going off before cure set equips, making me cure V for like 800hp and stuff, really annoying. Gonna sell my Aceso's Choker and Cure Clogs now!
@67% with my new precure set. That should be sufficient, right? People tend to forget how massive the -casting time from merits are :p
Cerberus.Kvazz said: » People tend to forget how massive the -casting time from merits are :p That, plus the bonus from light arts since it's not that long ago that I started subbing sch. :/ I'm happy though, just freed up 2 inv slots which is a good thing! But yeah, 67% should be enough, I highly doubt not capping it will ever kill someone.
I don't have Nares Cap yet either, once I get that I'll swap some other pieces around too, see if I can land on 70% in total.
I actually have a question about this. I'm at around 78%ish? in my precast. In my xml i have it set so I have a 0.8 delay before i swap on my cure gear in cures. It's been working fine till I got my Heka's Kalasiris. And then after that it's been weird where I keep Heka's on for cure instead of swapping to Bliaud +2. Is there a certain way I should set my cure rule to fix it? Should I get lower cure cast time or.. The one other thing I could think of was get the Nefer Khat to idle in that + Heka's, and it might fix the problem with swaps in cures? (Right now, idle in bliaud +2, precast in heka, then endcast in bliaud+2, which obviously isn't working from time to time. :| )

I just changed the idle body and a few other idle items to mid cast and it works perfect.
but yeh now my idle set looks a little screwy lol.. all good if it gets cures working like they should Make a seperate cureprecast from your precast set. This is my precast for cures:
<main lock="True">Arka IV</main> <feet>Cure Clogs</feet> <legs>Orison Pantaloons +2</legs> <body>Heka's Kalasiris</body> <back>Swith Cape</back> 76% - staff locked for cure as I idle in Owleyes. Regular precast: <body>Anhur Robe</body> <neck>Orison Locket</neck> <lear>Loquac. Earring</lear> <ammo>Incantor Stone</ammo> <rring>Prolix Ring</rring> <back>Swith Cape</back> <head>Nares Cap</head> <legs>Rubeus Spats</legs> <feet>Rubeus Boots</feet> Big difference.

Was having major issues with timing going from af3+2 -> precastbody -> af3+2, due to the gearswaps basicly happening too fast.
