I still haven't realised how Quickcasting a spell makes it's casting time slower then a normal spell. Surely if it was QUICKcasted, then it would be even quicker?

this is true.. quickcast just allows you to cast a spell with out being interupted but the spell is cast at the orignal spells.. speed

Wrong, all spells casted with quick-cast have a 2second casttime. You can try this if u have a petclass. Pet will be cast "fast" and fast-cast spells like debuff, nukes etc become "slow" :)

QC turns every non-insta spell into an uninterruptable *) fixed 2.0 seconds spell, which is why your sub 2.0s spells will cast slower when using QC.

*) Mez, stun, amnesia and people using run-through will screw it up.

Also makes the spell cost 100% more mana - so a 25% mana costing (pet) spell costs 50% mana.

if you have 1 powerpoint left, you can quickcast, it just lets your power go below 0 points..

so takes longer to regen, but yes, its double powcost

ye it costs more and if u use it on 1% pow then u go into "virtual negative power mode" ... so takes a good bit longer to regen pow than normal 0% power

A better suited name would be Focus Cast tbh.

No, a better suited name would be "Make-tank-beating-on-you-right-now-abuse-run-through" - or in short: MTBOYRNART (which is infact, not very short).
