No. I remember mark saying he used his l33t GM skills to get like 1000% cast speed the last time this was asked. Can't find quote tho.

There's a cap, but it's not specefied the game. Computers can only store numbers up to a certain size. The stats are stored as the int data type, which varies by system, but is good for at least up to 32,767.
On a standard 32-bit system, an int can hold up to 4,294,967,296. So above those values there could be problems. Thing is, there's probably an effective cap long before that point of what you can actually get in game without cheating. Each mod has a maximum value. If you have maximum cast speed increase mods on all the gear which can get them, and as amny cast speed passives as you can possibly get, I'd still be surprised if you broke +1000% Which, by the way, is a lot. At that point you don't really see a casting animation, the spell just happens pretty much instantly and the character looks like he's just standing there. EDIT: Damn, beaten to it by the teamwork of zoL and my past self. Curse them both! :P Last edited by Mark_GGG#0000 on Oct 12, 2011, 8:53:03 PM

Took awhile to find that since it was in some guys feedback thread instead of its own thread asking about it ^^

Realistically...
40% from 2 wands, or is it 25% each? 40% from 2 rings. 20% from an amulet. 24% from 8 power charges. 35% from the current passives, but your build would be all over the place. Are those numbers from gear correct? I seem to remember a belt with ICS, also. Closed Beta/Alpha Tester back after a 10-year hiatus.

Wands, Necks, and Rings can have over 20%. I don't know cap tho.

I watched mark test this out a while ago. He cheated so he had stupid amounts of cast speed... He was throwing out projectiles like a chaingun. So in other words he was casting so fast that his character stopped even doing a cast animation : P So dont worry their isn't a cast speed cap that I have seen.

That's a relief. Some games are ruined by adding caps that make over-building worthless.

" Yes belts can have ICS aswell, the amounts you've written seem right from what i can remember... |

Aren't frenzy charges the ones that give faster cast rate? They give 5% per charge if I remember correctly, and you can have up to five charges with the right passives on a witch/templar.
But since none of the other faster cast rate stuff depends on class, you could have a ranger with 8 frenzy charges (+40%) for the character with fastest possible cast rate. And as it is such so also as such is it unto you Last edited by IMDisappoint#1134 on Oct 13, 2011, 6:10:42 AM
