    Haste/Fast Cast Question

    Ok, this is for a friend because she wanted more people to confirm what I said and what she believes to be true as well. The question is:

    Does Haste make you cast faster?

    I am not talking recast timers, I am talking actually lowering cast times. Obviously, I said no it does not make you cast faster and she agrees however there are a few RDMs in her LS, who I would think know the proper answer but apparently do not.

    They are saying, Haste in fact lowers your cast time.

    Anyways, it's in the newb forum and it's just to settle a silly dispute so post away. I would be quite shocked if anyone here actually said it lowers casting time because I have never in my life seen that.

    Thanks!

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    need some more rofls, lol, r u sirius? and stuff to show how stupid this question is. We are talking Lv75RDMs who have been 75 for like years thinking this. COME ON PEOPLE.

    I was literally laughing irl when I was told they said it sped up your casts.

    I figured out posting!

    Anywho, this was me, and is there any proof you guys can find?

    I have ALWAYS thought Haste had NO affect on casting whatsoever.

    Never did a damn thing for ichi as RDM/NIN that didn't all ready happen with out haste on.

    besides timers of course.

    Thanks for all your help!

    It's not that hard to see...

    1. cast stoneskin (since long casting time) and see what % it goes off at.

    2. caste haste on yourself.

    3. cast stoneskin again and see what % it goes off at.

    4. get naked.

    LOL I had to ask the same thing to prove this to someone like a couple weeks ago. People really need to dispel this myth already.

    Really bad with watching the timings and the log/character. Was wondering if there was some program or something, but yea, I would have believed in myself even if there wasn't.

    Bad idea, they will be thinking haste cut down cast time not the AF1 hat.
