Armored Casting Updated! 01/14/2017 12:48 PM CST

Hello!

In addition to its original benefits, Armored Casting will now provide a chance to reduce the roundtime that is incurred following a failed spell cast due to armor hindrance.

Armored Casting
Rank 1: 33% chance to reduce the roundtime of failed casting attempt by 1 second.
Rank 2: 66% chance to reduce the roundtime of failed casting attempt by 1 second.
Rank 3: 100% chance to reduce the roundtime of failed casting attempt by 1 second.
Rank 4: 100% chance to get -1 to casting roundtime, and a 33% chance to get an additional -1 (Total of 2 seconds potentially).
Rank 5: 100% chance to get -1 to casting roundtime, and a 66% chance to get an additional -1 (Total of 2 seconds potentially).

Enjoy!

Very cool change. Does this also affect hard RT from a channeled spell, or just soft RT?

It only affects the soft roundtime.

Thanks! Almost done updating the wiki. Stacks with Rapid Fire? (I assume not.)

No, it does not stack with rapid fire.

So at 4 ranks a paladin is guaranteed a 2 second casting time, even on successful casts? That is quite a bit of incentive to switch from armored fluidity.

No. Armored Casting only affects failed casts.

Ahh well, rank 4 and rank 5 info didn't state for failed casts only. If that's the case I'll stick with armored fluidity.

Changing rank 4 and rank 5 to work on successful casts as well would be a great way to make this armor spec a competitive choice though.

A competitive choice is a bit of an understatement! If all it took were 4 ranks of an armor spec for an essentially permanent 2 cast RT on all spells, every caster in the lands would be clamoring for it.

Paladins would have to find new places to hide to have a break from giving out Armored Casting. That 5 RT adds up!
