Questions About Spirit Monk Skills

[yosumi]

Occult Impaction has a 1 sec. cast time according to skill description. What if I increase dex? Will it reduces cast time? Same for Asura, it says 4.5 sec. at level 1 but nothing about the actual formula.

i think at lvl 5 asura is 2s. The formula is something like 4.5s - (skill lvl*0.5s) IIRC

and yes, dex reduces cast time for both skills... Thus spirit monks are usually STR-DEX with a little bit of INT and VIT thrown in...

Dex reduces casttime of most casts, asura and OI too. Formula is Basic Casttime*(1-(Dex/150)) = final Casttime.

Thanks for the info. I think the formula should be included in the skill description.

The dex formula isn't included because it's an aspect of dex that is brought up in the novice training grounds. All of the mage skills from fire bolt to meteor storm to double bolt to anything that any mage class use, just tell you the cast time, they don't tell you the dex reduction. Just think as a general rule that for every 15 dex your cast time gets reduced by 10%. There are only a few skills in the game that are a constant cast time (memorize for profs is always 5 seconds no matter what you do), but for everything else in the game, if there's a cast time, dex helps reduce it.

Amplify Magic Power *coughs*

I'm pretty sure Asura gets a faster cast if you have more Dex. I've seen some people take forever to Asura, and others who do it instantly.

Charge attack is faster with more Dex too, even though it really shouldn't be.
