(which is clearly cannot be acquired by low rate server 150/70 by just stats right?) pls enlighten me - @green: As I understand it via testing and a few visual scanning of the conf files, one does not simply "instacast" because of variable cast time, which, if i remember correctly, is 20% of the original cast time, so if say you didnt have dex and your skill cast time was 10 seconds, your variable cast time is 2 seconds, meaning if you "instacast" you will still be casting for 2 seconds due to variable cast time. - @blue: this means a total of 530 stats, which can come from both int AND dex but dex affects this twice as much, persay you had 150 dex [for instant cast] and 255 int [max int at the moment] that would mean 150*2+255 = 555, which means you can now "instacast". - Oh and I hope this answers the question below: how do i add only this cast time? i want dex*2+int to be the only factor to reduce cast time to 0 - If not, then basically, you cant, as this formula does not calculate the whole cast time, only the variable cast time which is 20% of the skill's original cast time that ignores "instacast" meaning, if players normally instant cast at 150 dex, if they didn't have enough int, they would still be casting for 20% of their original skill cast time [which if i understand correctly should be reduced depending on your settings]. - Based on doc/item_bonus, you can script an item to reduce variable cast time. - As an admin tip, generally I would balance the cast rates to something not naturally reachable, but reachable via gears and hard work so persay: // My max stats: 255 // At what dex does the cast time become zero (instacast)? castrate_dex_scale: 150 // How much (dex*2+int) does variable cast turns zero? vcast_stat_scale: 530 - If my max stats is 255, that meanst 150*2+255=555, meaning players can naturally instant cast, I dont want that happening unless they work for their gears [stat cards, berze cards, custom cards] otherwise itd be boring for them, not having a goal and not achieving anything through hard work. - I would suggest something like 170 insta cast [forcing them to lower some stats] and 600 or 630 vcast. This forces any class to invest in certain stats to use certain builds, invest on certain items to use certain builds.
