Actually since fast cast and haste are factored seperatedly the 5% from chapeau and the 5% from turban will not actually be 5% and not by the same amount probably.
Did i miss somewhere the Fact that 50% is not anymore the max recast reduction combined out of Fast Cast % reduction and Haste % Reduction <.<
Not sure what point trying to make here. But yes 50% is the max -recast. Just saying -5% from haste will not do the same amount as -5% from fast cast.

Now rdm gets -10% recast from job traits. Just putting haste on yourself gives you 15%. Yeah if going for -recast it will pretty much always be better to use wamlart over af hat and goliard over relic body. Also goliard has -emnity and hp/mp and converse mp.
Relic Body: -5% recast -10% castttime
Goliard Body: -4% recast no casttime reduction +5% Conserve MP Activation
Only reason why i can see using it over the Relic Body would be if you A) Are not in a hurry to get your spell casted or B) If you piled enough Conserve MP with that to reach the 50% activation mark
AF Hat: -5% Recast -10% Casttime
Turban: -5% Recast (and 30HP, 10 more MP??)
I think i just dont get it why those two pieces would be better ._.
Again -recast kinda like -delay is exponential and are not added together but factored seperately. But heres the math for you.
Let's assume hat body haste spell and normal fast cast traits and say swift belt, dusk hands and feet for a total of 9-18% gear haste. 15 spell haste and 10-20% fast cast reduction
Turban and golaird will end up being -10% from fastcast and -33% from haste. So .9 * .67 = .603 or a 39.7% reduction in recast time.
Now af+relic will be -20% from fast cast and -24% from haste. So .8 * .76 = .608 or 39.2% reduction.
Yes the difference is slight at low haste amounts like this. But you start adding more haste gear or get marched etc it will become bigger. Like when you are trying to get stun down to -50% for example. If you wear the haste gear March II will get you to -50% reduction. While wearing fast cast will get you to 48.something%
Now any conserve mp is useful. by the same amount getting 5 at 50% isn't anymore helpful then at 0%. It merely adds a % chance for conserve mp to proc. Also -emnity.
And there is nothing wrong with starting in fast cast and switching to haste.
