Question about INT DEX and CAST dmg

[Damnnationx]

Ive heard that theres a hard cap when it comes to casters and there dmges, ie 10%cast speed 101 dex from toa caped buffs and aug dexes same with int obviously if you had all those it be ubber stats but is there a point at which its pointless to have anymore? for example justsay that 10%castspeed 101dex in template = for example 400dex as if lol would there be any point going for aug dex 1 to 5? to increase it further? or is there a point it becomes pointless say 350? and does this work with int? and con as well?

Would like to know so that in template i dont waste stuff on points of con dex int i dont need

thanx for any imput on this

You almost certainly want both dex and int over capped by 25 or 26 (101 in total) in your template and con should be close to cap (75). There is a cap on cast speed for each spell, but you will need your template maxxed including 9 or 10% cast speed and a certain level of aug dex depending on your characters race (luri or elf).

aug dex ? for a luwi?

ok so if i have 101 dex 101 int +10% cast speed and 10% dmg how do i know how much aug dex i need? to get cast cap? is there a set value ie total to 400 anything over is wasted or?

I found that a dex of 380ish + 9% TOA was enough to cap my cast times on 2.8sec or less spells.

I notice a difference between 380 and 390 dex with 10% casting speed

con - get close to cap in your template (70-75) overcap doesnt matter.

int - more is always better, cap your overcap, get aug acuity, max TOA dmg, keeeel.

dex - aim for 385dex and 9% toa* when fully buffed, returns after that are totaly lost in server/connection/lag.

hps - Mages are a low hps class, take advantage of as much overcap on hits as you can without gimping anything else.

*everyone seems to have their own idea about what dex you need, some people will tell you that you must have 10% toa, some will tell you that such and such a calculator gives this answer etc. The only way to tell for sure is to go out and test it yourself by casting in a lag free area and checking the log after a few hundred casts many times.

Hmm ok so pin says 40% delve of a spells cast time is what you can cap aand to work out if you have enough dex is to work out cast time - 40%
then with whatever dex you have cast a few hundred spells over a given time to work outadverage cast time of each spell? then increase dex until ya find the delve cast speed -40%? and thus 403 dex is prety much it?
If thats right is it also the case where by if you have not enough dex with char toa cast speed at10 you simply ar egimped and need to use aug dex 5 or4 to reach it cap?? if this is so godam nerf wish id known before making caster clases

Whatt about Powerpool /caps o caster templates ? personaly i tihnk there worthless rvr as full mana bar and 1 power pot whatever is more than enough on with no toa as you either dead straight away or in sieges youl have enough time to to use a power pot after res or fop for tehwin or mana charge from an item so id say dont bother or worry about power in templates id just wory about distence speed dmg hits con int dex unless you is a healer then that changes

 

[liloe]

the cap is 40% of delve =)

 

[Damnnationx]

Thnx to all whoreplied to this forum ive finaly figured it out and also found a nice website that calculates caps using ras etc turns out that prety much cap on most spells is about 386 dex with 10% cast spd and 407 without cast speed roughly

i suggest to read the replies again if you think that

 

[Damnnationx]

whatever i know what i mean lol it may have been 407 is cap with toa at 10% speed or somit liek that think it was somit like .00004 off
