depends which skill you're talking about. there is fixed cast and variable cast. for sorc, diamond dust is full variable but i think most other skills are a combination of both. most things that reduce cast time reduce variable cast (i.e. spell enchants, KK card). the 0.5 sec cast reduction from dex boots and the ventus cast time reduction are both fixed cast reductions.
so for variable cast reduction, you have:
- +10TSOD 6/5Spell: 20%
- RWC Pendant 2 3/3Spell: 32%
- FAW 18 Spell: 30%
- +12KK Skull Cap: 12% + 10% from combo w/TSOD
- DexBoots Spell 5: 10%
= 114% variable cast reduction. so you should at least have instacast for diamond dust
and for fixed, you have:
- Dex boots (with 120 dex i assume): 0.5 sec with 120 dex
- Ventus: 1 sec (remember to set it to passive mode)
i don't think these 2 things stack (i think? i could be wrong). but they will stack with a % fixed cast reducing item/skill like sacra. so if you have dex boots + sacra + 100% variable cast, your level 5 psychic wave should be casting at 0.05 sec (50% of [0.6-0.5])

like...what? you're a big boy, you can afford all those expensive gears. i'm sure you can figure out the 1st and 2nd job skills yourself. if you have specific questions that haven't already been answered on forums, you can ask them here. otherwise, i'm not gonna hold your hand.

Not sure if OP is aware or not, but fixed cast reduction from Ventus is not a passive skill. It's its passive mode skill.
You need to summon Ventus (any level) and use Spirit Control 1 to put it to passive mode.

I have found instant cast to be unnecessary in PVM recently, thanks to spellflow shadow gears.SO you can wear elemental armor and two elvira's and be OK with an unbreakable < 0.3 second cast bar for psychic wave, etc.

Off topic question :
I have +4 SpellFlow set on my Sorc atm and whenever I have my Lvl 2 Ventus set to Passive , I don't know if the spells were draining my SP like hell due to ventus , spellflow set or that was just me casting like a freak ? I didn't get much how ventus works in terms of SP consumption . Does it consume additional SP on each cast you make ?

are you using energy coat? that's the #1 culprit for losing SP

Spellflow set makes skills cost 40% it -1% per upgrade. so at most you can negate 30% if its at a +10 set.
combined with things like energy coat, or runaway magic proc, or mistress, or gtb,
But afaik, ventus doesn't drain your sp.

No, it is 35% that can be negated. At +9 the armor is 3%, shield and shoes always reduce by 1%. Then as set effect, refines can total 30%.

Nope. Doing Solo TI with energy coat = respawn to save point

I see , it's the series of casting then . Thanks fer the answers
Follow - up off topic question :
1) Should I bother getting other spirits ? Haven't calculated my skill points till end game but I want to have an idea if I can keep Agni and Ventus or can it be Terra and Ventus ?
2) Regarding screenshot below :
1) Solo PVM-wise , should I keep the KK CoD or it will benefit me more if I put on my KK Skull Cap?
2) Thoughts on putting AGI,LUK and STR ? I'm planning to go 120 INT and Dex then the rest for vit
3) While we still have Mesmerist in Thor , are there any Trans skill that may be useful for solo leveling ?
4) When both +9 , Valk Shield or Immune Shield ?
5) Is it useful to wear Books ? How about Night Magician Cap?
Last question : Are there any Solo MVP hunters for Sorce or that's just too hard and require MVPs / Gods ?
Thanks fer all feedback

1) Skull cap is better than CoD, since you have a TSOD. Also frees up the mid slot for some immunity card, or something more fancy such as mistress.
2) If its just a pvm oriented character you are free to do whatever, you don't need much high vit either. My 175 sorc has 125 int, 120 dex, 80 agi, 90 vit, 20 luk.
3) It's really just the pre-reqs mostly. I like, i mean, i love Killing Cloud, for that you need 5 points in earth spike. Free cast is not really a must, you can live w/o it, specially with fast casts.
4) Valk shield doesnt require upgrade, the def added is kinda meh. Just whatever shield with the correct cards should do.
5) No. No.
I can kill a whole lot of MVPs on my sorc, i don't exactly hunt cuz im lazy. But am able to solo things such as OGH, Bios, Morse, GMT, etc. No mvp/gods, just some nice gears.

Why do you have foresight. Get rid of that trash skill. Instead, max your endows for better elemental damage. Foresight is pointless when you can get instantcast easier now.
Sorcs can kill most mvps, except maybe like half a dozen.. Bee, valk, ifrit, etc

With perfect chaining, you cast VS 2.5x more than any other skill in the cycle. Thats at least 30k more dps in your cycle.
To me, thats worth it.
