Warlocks and Cast Speed
Okay, so I tried avoiding this thread but I failed to come to a conclusion on my own.
So, I timed my Warlock on how long it would take her to cast her 4 main offensive Spells using my normal Cast Speed gear which is 7% on Gloves and 13% on Staff. That's a total of 20% Cast Speed. This took me 10 seconds. The second test was with shop bought items (No bonuses etc) and casted the same 4 Spells. This took me around 10.5 seconds. So the only thing I could conclude was that 20% Cast Speed gear would give you an advantage of around 0.5 seconds, if not any bonuses at all (Easily could of misscalculated 10 seconds from 10.5 seconds). My question is: Does Cast Speed on gear really matter anymore or is this some sort of bug? Thanks guys Surfacing |

I tried testing this by just adjusting it to 5% Weapon CS, and weird enough it says this: Quote:

and sometime(almost never) the new patch has less seconds CS shouldnt it all be the same? like 1.6.3 is always less or more CS then 1.6.2?? Maybe Im totally wrong can someone explain this to me? |

Cast speed scaling is very complex. That's about the simplest explanation I can give.

It's a logarithmic function.

And also, more you get Cast Speed, less effective it is.
