<p>i reach the faster cast/recast cap self buffed wich kinda suck...master of storm help it but i cant get the usefulness of time compretion or anything similar.i think that should be looked into.only spell that is not caped is starnova,its at 2.04 caped at 2.the cap of both cast and recast should be lowered to give back usefullness of lot of gear and to others speed buff</p><p>what you guys think?</p>

<p>I think you have better cast speed gear than I do then. What do you have? I have a ton of items with reuse.</p>

<p>Our AA lines allow us to max out most of your offensive abilities with very little +offensive cast speed gear.  I think the only one I am not capped on is the AA ae, I think its called Wrath of Nature.  Reuse is an area which I have not thoroughly investigated, but I have assumed that without putting a lot of emphasize into strictly + reuse speed gear we could not easily cap it.  I do not have much + reuse speed gear outside of the set peices, holding out on disease charm to help with that. </p><p>I find it especially unlikely for you to be capped on both offensive and beneficial recast, beneficial recast is particularly important if you are trying to take advantage of our heal stance.  The stance shaves off 2 seconds from the duration of our group heal (Autumns Kiss).  Typically in my groups in raid I find that the duration of Autumn's Kiss is 5 seconds, with about a 10 second recast.  That leaves a lot of time where there is no heal ticking on the group.  Like I said I have not investigated the benefit of +recast gear thoroughly, but my assumption is that there is a lot of headroom on +recast for this reason. </p><p>Although my current gear setups are not setup around +beneficial cast/reuse speed, I am beginning to believe that this route will see the highest improvement in heal ability.  It is fine to have very large critting heals, but what really matters is how often and quickly you can cast them.  If you ask me I think SOE should modify our heal stance to also take off 2 seconds from the reuse, or give us another hot, or a hot component to untamed to compensate.  Trying to stagger autumns, untamed, and hibernate to keep a heal coming all the time is not a very reliable way to do things, especially with the excess of cure requirements.</p>
