How does +DEX affect casting speed?
Taken straight from the Camelot Herald Friday Fun – The Grab Bag! Q: Would you please give more detail as to how dex affects a caster? For instance, I understand that when I have my dex maxed I will cast 25% faster. How does this work incrementally? A: From a dex of 50 to a dex of 250, the formula lets you cast 1% faster for each ten points. From a dex of 250 to the maximum possible (which as you know depends on your starting total), your speed increases 1% for every twenty points. By the way, this same explanation works for the quickness stat for weapon users. Example: Shaman Bolt 4 second casting time Kobold at creation | (70-50)/10=2.0% | .02*4=.08 | 4-0.08= 3.92 Secs. | 4.00 Sec. – 3.92 Sec. = .08 Sec. faster at creation. Special Note: In game tests suggest that the 1% increase is actually a 1.5% increase. Which results in a maximum of 35% faster casting speed then the current value of 25% suggested in the above friday grab bag. ^ Back to Top 2.6. What about +PIE? PIE affects Shama
