I don’t know about you, but aint no one hittin me with their little 10 dex fireballs man.
Not unless I’m completely distracted from playing.
All I need is 1 cast :cyclops: and its all over.
If I can tell they aint comin with speed…I'm gonna make em pay more than usual.
You can definitely tell whose fast casting their fireballs and who aint, and it effects a lot more castings other than fireballs.
I dont care how bad/good someone is at pivot casting(***EDIT3***insert lock off casting). Once you learn it, or blunder it, a 25%(est) boost to it's speed...
is <3 man.
That is unless of course, they are in the top "2%" "Dark Souls Killers Club"…in which case these rules don’t apply to them.
I also didn’t say 45 dex. Imo you don’t realize an in game effect until 35…so 35-45 is what I would say. I cant justify going to 35 dex for this reason outside of complimenting a quality build maybe, so of course 40 dex would be seen often. Therefore being taken advantage of by pyro, and then maybe the continuation to 45 dex. Like how B1AINE said.

Yep. I'm unsure if there's an exception.
However dismissing the benefit is ill-advised imo. Some castings gain an additional 20-27% increase in speed. Its nice, and very handy. Combustions don't need it, but a lot of other stuff could use it. Its a great compliment to dexterity. As a matter of fact, I cant remember the last time I used dexterity without pyro. But ya you dont have to. I'm just sayin 40-45 dexterity makes it hard to rule out pyro or even intelligence.***EDIT***when thinking about a more spell than sword type of build.
Having 40-45 dexterity is a great idea when you love pyro and dex weapons. I definitely notice who fast casts. And, imo, they are the ones pulin off the sorcery and pyros outside of combustion /combustion spamming. ***EDIT***Dark Bead as well
