gear cs bonus seems to be working fine

Hi!

Because some warlocks were complaining about nerfed cs bonus,
( see this thread as an example: http://znurre.regnumonline.com.ar/fo...ad.php?t=66476 )
I decided to do some testing before using my cs gear.

To me cs bonus on gear seems to be working fine.

Sultar's terror casted 10 times:
------ average measured cast time: 3.00 s

Sultar's terror casted 10 times with arc.dev(5)
------ average measured cast time: 1.69 s

Sultar's terror casted 10 times with arc.dev(5) and 16% cs bonus from gear
------ average measured cast time: 1.49 s

Of course the test is in no way precise, I was using a manual stopwatch, but I doubt this difference is just the result of human error. Maybe people think cs gear is not working well enough because they expect arc.dev to reduce casting time to 50%, which is not the case. Since I've only been playing for two months, and never did any cs tests before, I dont know if something has changed or it was like this all the time, but for me it was convincing enough to keep using my cs gear.

I would love to hear about other test results or opinions.
