mincer question

funny thing is, every time I run solo in the gorge/OG I'll probably be attacked by a minstrel (I encounter sorcs in DF mostly) of course, people will say "why is a tank running solo" well, just occasionally I do actually need to, say, to join my friends in a keeptake, or a relic raid which started before I logged on.

thats the risk.... getting killed solo before reaching your target as a tank is nothing new, and you know what kind of damage a enchanter can do?

no, I play tanks and tanks only, latest is a BM. I'm afraid cast time does actually go over the 1.5 second cap (harder since the last patch but still possible) I've seen a bard cast like they're popping pills, and that's without dex going up every level. Sorcs have done 1500 damage to me in 2 seconds, and many others I know, so it's not just my resists (which aren't great thanks to needing a new suit of armour to comply with my artifacts, but are still fairly high..)

yes cast time in this patch goes under 1.5 (pin informed me on that), but in 1.68 will the hard cap on 2 sec be there and with 10% casting its:
2 - 10% = 1.8 sec so that gonna be the hard hard cap after 1.68 and im sure no 1 can reach under that cap goes that should be impossible (please tell me if im wrong in friendly tone) and i know 1.8 can seems pretty pretty fast, but same count for ppl actully reaching 1.5 cap in melee (1.35 with +10% haste cap).
And as said b4 with good resist and resist no caster (not even pbaoe) can do 1500 dmg in 2 cast w/o some really good crits.

if u hit under 2 (whice u can do now) yes improved dex and sracens r wasted + mota.
racial stat was only a matter of fact b4 sc as not all classes could cap dex or get very high qui to get near melee cap b4 sc (i still belive sc is a bad thing in a game, but then some would say i should go play EQ or something like that where u dont can sc u thing).
