The cap is 40%. 2 seconds cap ? lol, even an half ogre would cast faster than this already

On TOA servers you could reach this cap with 386 dext and 10% casting speed bonus. I doubt you can reach this on uthgard.

And the calculator is correct by the way ^^

i kinda dont get it Hedra.
40% hardcap so you need 307 dex to hardcap every spell?
(which every kobi/luri/sara kinda caps by wearing sc armor?)
sounds in first very easy

It´s 40% of delve speed <=> 60% reduction

That´s way more then 307 dex.

Mastery of the Art Passive N/A 1 3 6 10 14 Augmented Acuity 3

Additional 3% per level casting speed when casting spells. Please note that the minimum allowed spell casting timer is 2 seconds – this ability will not allow you to go below this hard cap.

I think not

Edit: Johannah was faster

I´d really like to rant about how awesome you are to not have noticed people casting faster then 2seconds in allmost 10 years and how you should STFU when you know ****** and talk to someone who knows better, but i guess you allready did make a pretty good job at making yourselves look like idiots.

The cap is 40% of the base cast time. For example, for a 3.0 spell, the cap is 3.0 * 0.4 = 1.2 seconds.
To reach that cap without any % casting speed you need something like 410 dext.

Humm, i just wanna know if MoA is worth to spec high when you just need 1 or 2 to reach the castcap, because MoA dont go below 2 seconds.

Does Kobold, 15 base dex, red d/q and MoA2 is enough for capping speed (cap meaning as possible as uthgard can go)?

okok now i got it, i need to reach 60% in the calc, not 40%

ye i think this is the right question ^^

Yea, it seems that i have to find the right combination between Mastery of the Arts and augmented Dexterity

If MOA has no effect when you cast already faster than 2 seconds, then it's plenty useless for anyone with buffs. Imo it's just a mistake, the cap could be 1 second, not 2 seconds.

You will probably need high MOA and high aug dex to reach the cap. It will also depend on your shaman/healer because they can spec mastery of the arcane.

Does Mastery of the Arcane still influences Buffs when Augmentation line is 50?

If yes, good to know!

Yes, when you have 50 augmentation, buffs give base value * 1.25.
With mastery of the arcane 3 for example, it will be base value * 1.25 * 1.09.

The cap is +62 for base buffs, and +93 for spec buffs. I think no buff reaches those caps without mastery of the arcane or TOA bonus.

ok, one last time.

THERE IS NO 2 SECOND CAP FOR CASTS. NEITHER FOR CASTING SPEED NOR FOR MotA. THE HERALD IS WRONG.

and yes MotArcane will increase buffs even if you´re 50 aug spec.

perfectly...
it was clear that such a case will come up with OF RA which you can't test nowhere anymore:
there's written facts on the official site from this time and there's veterans who know otherwise.

believe the veterans or take the facts as rules
this is the problem the staff has to face.

or is there any written facts to back up the veterans?

I found an old discussion about cast speed and MotA, none of them mentions a 2 second cap.

What facts? Some archaïc archived website that offers only one line of descriptions and is even flawed?
