Fast Cast And Haste In Gear Only.

Posted this on KI but figures I would copy/pasta here due to higher traffic:

So I am wondering if there is a 50%, 25% or any other cap towards recast on Utsu/various ninjutsu recast options?

Been considering this for a long time and wondering what the ideal unsupported set would be for near perfect recast.

First I would want to consider how much ninja can fast cast for. By my calculations it is about 10% (neck) 10% (katana) + 5% (Body mirke) 5% (loq ear) + 2.5?? (MCP head) for casting time.

Now for recast with all that added, about 16.5%?

If you are going with that would you only need another 9.5% in the proper casting time of your utsusemi macro to reach true and pure capped recast? or can you go beyond the hard cap with fast cast gear?

If you could get your hands on the ideal recast and quickest casting time (gear only) gear set what would it be?

Loquacious earring is -2% casting -1% recast.

Also this might help you:

Haste

FFXIAH has higher traffic than KillingIfrit? Cool.

Yea have for a while now. For instance 2 responses so far here and 0 on KI. I am drunk atm, and was also drunk when I posted this initially, I will come back in a day or two to clarify and post some links/gear info to further clarify and reference for the discussion.

I guess the main question at hand is what the ideal set would be for haste, if you had the the max fast cast ninja can put on. Do you need a full 25/6%? or a much smaller number due to a hard cap with your fast cast in consideration?

Sorry if the question is still confusing, like I said I am drunk. bottle and a half of cabernet >.>

Edit: thanks for the link Zero I will try to review them in the next 24 hours, they may help me clarify/answer my own question.

10 katana 5 body 5 hat 2 loq = 22
22/2 = 11 from recast
4 dusk+1, 7+4 iga+2, 7 twilight = 22
so 33% from gear

or 10 katana 5 body 2 loq = 17
25% from gear
8.5 + 25 = 33.5% from gear

For recast purposes then: 5% katana 2.5 body, 2.5 head, 1 ear = 11%?

+ 25/6% haste = 36/7%?
If I am understanding this correctly NIN at the most can attain 36.etc.% on recast with gear alone?

I think that is wonderful for Miguwari alone, with it's rediculous 2 minute cool down.

Drunk again btw.....

Star Craft 2 is awesome.

if you could cap haste without the head slot, sure. i forgot tiercel necklace for the first one so that'd actually be 34%, assuming that what path replied with on KI isn't true.

KI is still around..?

As far as I am aware the neck only reduces casting time (not recast) on utsusemi. Assume that a player can cycle through 2-3 pieces of gear per slot in a single cast....


Fight club etc...

It's not additive.

floor( [1-Haste] * truncate( [1-Fast Cast] * Recast ) )

So, 1-.25 = .75
1-.11 = .89
.75*.85 = 0.66
0.66*2(minutes) = 1min 19sec so about 34% (caps at 50%, Fast Cast caps at -25% recast)

thanks for the formula.

and my numbers were for recast (although i added them, so the final numbers are wrong), and i did assume different pieces for the cast -- you don't need spellcast to swap things for cast time and recast. my reasoning was that i don't think both the fast cast and the haste would be applied to the recast. and i mentioned tiercel necklace, not magoraga.

Just want to check I am not math'n wrong. This set would lead to a 25 sec recast on Reraise with haste up and Rdm native FC trait @ 99. Looking for optimal precast set. Missing Pro Ring and +1 back and feet, when I get funds up planning on getting em.

Holy necrobump

You can also drop the couple hours into making an Arka II, for the recast time reduction

Ultra mega Necro, Whats the bees knees sets these days for this particular topic?

Have to come back and ask when you're drunk

haha

Was just pulling up stuff from other parts of the forum, looking for other stuff

nice thanks

While these are weapon-specific, also very relevant that:
- augmented Kikoku (R15) has Ninjutsu casting time -20%
- Fudo Masamune (or Su4) C path has significant Ninjutsu recast reduction when mainhanded (1% per augment level, max of -25% recast) - since it's also the best tanking mainhand, that really helps when it matters most.

Additionally, a NIN would always want to cast Utsusemi in Empy feet (and not FC gear) for an extra shadow.

67% FC and 27% haste? if I am reading that right? Nuts, what is that cap on FC? Swap in Relic+3 and Utsu beads for precast for Utsusemi?

If I understand correctly 25.ish% on Haste is cap, I understand why you overshoot, no choice these days, and for recast that's another 33.5% for FC? Seems I read somewhere for the purposes of recast FC gives half of the displayed value toward recast, that can combine with the 25~% haste cap?

And no FC/Quick magic yet for waist on NIN?

Precast in Herc, midcast the boots in.

Ninja has a job gift of -20% Ninjutsu cast time, so it only needs 60% from gear to reach the cap. The above set did not take into consideration that Gift bonus.

60% in FC type gear, The utsusemi specific items count toward that? or are able to break cap further? 98% on utsusemi would be nuts!

any kind of -spellcast gear applies the same as the 1st portion of FC, so 10 FC = -10 spellcast, you just dont get any -recast benefits should that stay in midcast

From what I am gathering these two katanas are damn near BiS for main and offhand. Will the augments work in off hand? So with just these 2 weapons you are looking @ -45% cast time in utsusemi?

And as I was typing that I noticed they are two different types of cast/recast buffs. NVM about the combined, but I am still curious if the off hand augments still work?

What do we got these days?

Not killingifrit, for sure

I Kinda miss KI heh.
