Since VNboards were going down (allready are down) i figured that saving that specific post would be wise. Most of you probably did the same, but the ones that didnt i thought id put it out here aswell:
I originally made this test to show that 386 dex didn't cap 2.8s spells. I didn't at all expect what i found though, so i continued my testing.
Method:
I clocked the time it takes to cast 100 spells and that's pretty much it. I started by putting all points in dex at creation, get aug dex 5 etc to see the what i got with the highst possible dex, then i removed items and clocked a new time. If the new time was different from the first one, i adjusted items, starting points and RAs and tested a number between the two. I then repeated this untill i found the "breaking point.
Not all tests were done with 100 casts as i didn't have enough power. The spreadheal (3.5s) for example was tested with 25 casts and then multiplied by 4.
Result:
1) There are "breaking points" where your cast speed gets significantly faster.
2) Anything in between these breaking points gives very little or no return.
3) Maybe someone will, but i fail to see a pattern in these breaking points.
4) The breaking points seem to aply to all spells with the same cast time, but i have not and am not going to test it for all spells.
I HAD 10% CAST SPEED DURING THE WHOLE TEST
Breaking points:
2.0s ---> 392 dex, 344 dex, 337 dex
2.1s ---> 356 dex, 354 dex, 308 dex
2.2s ---> 374 dex, 368 dex, 320 dex
2.3s ---> 386 dex, 380 dex, 332 dex
2.4s ---> 392 dex, 350 dex, 307 dex
2.5s ---> 362 dex, 319 dex
2.6s ---> 374 dex, 332 dex
2.7s ---> 386 dex, 344 dex
2.8s ---> 392 dex, 356 dex, 320 dex
2.9s ---> 368 dex, 362 dex, 332 dex
3.0s ---> 374 dex, 338 dex
3.5s ---> 356 dex, 326 dex
