With the new RWC accessories, I am able to have -32% variable cast time just from those two. Without counting other equips - am I able to do instant-cast SN? If so, what would be the use of it? If I used my skull cap + tsod there's another -10%, but I rather use my RWC set instead of that.
I still don't understand the -% variable cast time from equips - does it stack additively from your -% reduction from int&dex?

Also, I reaaaaaaally want my SN to become a baby. The HP is so low, I don't care about the -20% hp/sp. However, does any kind of build (aspd, instant-cast) need any stat above 108? (108 is the max for baby).
For aspd: 108 agi along with dex and good attack speed gears glorious mace, 190~192 is doable? I want to make something like scept's super fast atk breaker along with some helpful skills.
For instant cast: 108 int and 108 dex with improve concentration, owl's eye (10+dex), -32% variable from two accessories, should be TOTALLY and easily done right?

Heck...is it possible to do BOTH, if I do this?:
52 Str (For weight, not really gonna kill anyone with low atk)
108 Agi
1 Vit
108 Int
108 Dex
1 Luk

The iro stat calculator sais with this stat, I have 7.35% variable cast time. So with my -32% variable cast time, it's instant cast right? Does that mean I can forgo some int&dex into more Str? If -% variable cast time stacks additively, then I only need 32% variable cast time to get instant cast?

For skills:
I'm gonna get a lot of mix and match, I dont really care toooo much on the skill build. However, what skills are the 100% must take? Like faith or improve concentration? I will only go either aspd, instant-cast, or both builds, not support or anything other. I'd like to forgo more defence if I have to.

Can you wear 2 handed wands if you're linked? Vellum staff if you can -50% more

99% sure this is the case so that's easy enough. Kathy +9/12 COD and boom

Oh so instant-cast means 99%? I always thought it means 100% off, so 0 sec cast time. Seems like with 108 int, 108 dex, with ALL the buffs, and -32% variable cast time, I can still only get ~4%. Is that still considered instant-cast? lolsz

Can someone also check if SN soul linked can actually equip vellum staff? LOL

[Riakuta]

They can. I have a level 101 Super Novice and a Soul Linker give me a second while I edit in a screenshot.

Oh is that only 99%? Yeah you need 100% but that's probably close enough... If a spell had a 1 second total(so .2 second fixed, .8 variable) the staff would drop the cast time by -.2 fixed and .792 variable down to like .008 seconds? It'd be nonexistant really.

For non--support SN, no matter what type you go, do you need Safety Wall, Pneuma, Blessing, and Increase Agi? And if you do need those, is lv1 Safety Wall/Increase Agi enough?

[Viri]

Not getting pneuma and SW is a horrible idea imo.Depends on build but agi1 would be functional I suppose(or just spam guarana candies). Bless I'd def get 10.

Super Novice can't even get the skill Safety Wall only Pneuma.

Edit: Just noticed it now might need to change my Super Novice build. Its hidden off in a corner I couldn't see.
