Title: Cast time regarding
Post by: dailydaily on January 06, 2011, 02:25:54 am

i know this shud have been asked for a ton of times already.
but just to make sure i dont waste money on ads unnecessary,

i have a Bio, and am planning to level her. I dont have a kaho (broke mine to upping) or DJINN (no sqi at all)
i have plans to invest on Berz cards ( 2* berz gloves or anything ) and DL and DI combo ( reduces like 20% cast time)

my question is, i know there is no IC in this combo. (66% and 20% )

Is the above combo good enuf as IC for Bio and Acid demo is the skill mostly using ?
adding some dex, will affect this combo and can i get IC with that ?
Someone told me, IC can be done, but i have never done it myself. So, clearing doubt.
Instead of DI, shud i go for kiel to reduce after cast delay ?

I know this won't help much, but berze only give 30%, not 33% in the description.

The highest you could prob get on a bio would be...

Berze Accesory - 30%
Berze Orlean Glove - 30%
Orlean Server Combo with Orlean Glove - 5%
Dual DI Headgears with DL shoes - 30%

So you could potentially get 95%, however if you're after slow mvps, my bio worked just fine with a phen accessory.

Though you might wanna hear from some others first, I don't main a bio  :)

thanks, i was about to put 30%, got little confused and put as 33%.
My question is, will the extra dex help in getting IC ?

and i dont think the cast time reduction stacks !

If you planning in using reduction gear (berz+DI), you can't get ic with that (even if you have 149 dex)..
for me, using kiel isn't really good option (if you don't have djinn and other basic dex gear) since kiel also have 3 dex penalty..
not to mention if you planning to play with reduction gear, DI is pretty important too (20% reduction is a lot)..
you can use di+berz combo and adding some dex (maybe like 90)..i think your cast time should be good enough..
like prof flash mention above, you also can put your di card to any cheap top headgear to get extra 10% reduction but the resell value just sucks..and i think you will lose 10% more hp and sp by applying dual DI..not pretty sure..if yes, i wouldn't recommend that

hmm, so thats pretty much like, dont go for Reduction gears. Just go full dex IC
i will keep that in mind.

Though I'd mention the clock tower manager card too.

It's a headgear card and reduces cast time by 5 or 10%, can't remember off the top of my head.
So if you were worried about resell cost, you could use that as your upper piece since you wouldn't be losing much.

& really cast reduc or full dex IC depends on what you wanna do.

Cast Reduc allows you to poor more stats into somewhere else besides all out dex but if you get trapped in a mob, well good luck getting out lol.


I think they would cost relatively the same too as long as you don't include a valk helm in your cast reduc.

But if you were gonna choose one over the other first, I'd prob go with the dex, all the gear besides the kaho is relatively cheap and farmable.  Not to mention when you get a kaho, its really useful for all other classes as opposed to berze accessories really only useful for longer cast time classes like mages.  Hope that kinda helps ya some more.

The descriptions are wrong.

I mentioned the Orlean combo right when it came out to a gm, and they reduced it to 5% cast time & 5% bypassing mdef.
Its in the change log around here somewhere.

Trust me, I run a cast reduction build on my scholar with 1 dex and I use:

DI Valk Helm   - 20% (combo'd with DL card on sleips)
DI Blinker        - 10%
DL Sleips
Berze Rosary   - 30%
Berze Orlean Glove - 35% (combo'd with Orlean Server)
Orlean Server
Robe of cast    - 3%

With all of that, I still have a cast time even though its a split second & if you calculate it all up, its 98% (Could get 100% by replacing tome with wing staff & taking off the robe)

If berze cards were 33% and the Orlean combo was 10%.  I would have IC with less than that gear up there ^^^.

If you're planning to MVP, you can level your homun and use it as a temporary tank to distract while you cast.

They aren't as good of tanks as they were on Aegis though. :(

That is a nasty looking picture u have there on the bottom, but anyways...
Berz Orlean Glove with Orlean Server would be good.Or Sting Orlean
also,u could use Di DL Combo
