What is cast rate?

Every character needs a specific amount of base frames to cast skills. The amount of frames needed to cast a skill varies between them.

 

• Sorceress: 14

• Necromancer: 16

• Paladin: 16

• Druid: 15

 

For Amazon, Assassin and Barbarian FCR doesn't matter for speedruns.

 

This base cast rate can be improved by items with the Affix "Faster Cast Rate".

 

Items on which you can find this Affix:

• 2handed-staffs

• Wands

• Orbs

• Rings

• Amuletts

• Circlets

• Runeword Stealth "Tal Eth" - 25% FCR for free here.

 

Every char has specific breakpoints for that. Every breakpoint lowers the needed frames by one. (Check them out in the char specifics)

However FCR does NOT reduce cooldowns from spells!
