totalSpeed = ((1 - ($dexterity - 70) / 600) * (1- ($toaCastPercent / 100)) * spellDelveSpeed .
Spreadheal:
(327 dex)0.428x 0.9 x 3.5 = 1.35 sec
(349 dex)0.458x 0.9 x 3.5 = 1.44 sec

Is aug dex 4 worth is?
I have 327 dex atm with aug dex2. I tried aug dex4, but didnt rly feel is was much faster.
What are the dex cap atm? Some say 370 others say 380..

I don't think theres a dex cap (like there is a qui cap) I had around 330ish dex before NF and now with aug dex4 365ish and I must say I do really notice the differance between spread heals.
Though for some reason I have the feeling it's still not as fast (the cast speed) then when I had MotA2 and no aug dex.

Well.. *they* (Who? Well. THEM. THOSE guys. No idea who.) keep saying that having 300+ dex is practically useless. Others say that they DO notice a difference.

No idea where the placebo effect kicks in, though.

I notice the difference when I miss spec dex or baseline dex (310-320 instead of 375) so I would say 300+ does something :>

Currently have 375 dex on my wizard. Its definatly slower than when i had 342 dex + MotA 3 in old frontiers. Im guessing i'd need to hit around 390 - 400 dex to make up the cast speed i lost.

Think 380 dex to get max speed from 2.8 spec dd .

"apparently", 440 dex caps cast speed.
capped casting speed is "60% of the delve" which caps with 385(ish? cba checking threads) dex and 10% toa castspeed, according to tests by US players (read several threads on vnboards about it)

Shouldn't it be 560? You get 1% for every ten dex points above 60, that should give you 50% casting speed, then you get 10% toa casting speed too and you're capped.

but after 300 you only get 1% every 20 points. The effective stat cap, except for qui is 250, is 450. Not every class can reach this hard cap for a stat, a troll zerker for example doesnt have a problem gettin 450 str with some aug str's. The soft cap is 300, under 300 you get the most benefit off items / buffs but once you exceed 300 its not that the stat simply becomes useless, on the contary, it adds to your character but only to a much lesser extent.

From testing on various boards by people with too much free time and a curious nature :D. 410-430 dex + 10% toa bonus will cap all the spells your class can use if they use dex to modify there speed, not a minstrel's mezz for example.

The above said by hare guy, a spell can be modifed to 66% of it original cast time.

I really cant be bothered giving links, if you care so much the info is at a good site called www.google.com and you just need to spend some of which the ppl involved did to find the answers. I spent enough time researching it my self ;>

I'm sure there is something wrong in the code. The difference between 375 and 385 dex is very noticeable.
