Are you ever going to address this or are wiz and tao to be left holding their dicks in hand.

The delay between casts is too long, its a fkin joke. its way slower than euro mir and way slower than acem2.

it was never an issue with ppl on acem2 so why slow it down on here?

we also seem to be ignored with the tao pets issue, we would just like to know if your gonna fix em.

Taos buffs cast quicker than there sfb they are a support class not dps. And your skeles are op so yeah they need addressing.

Cast speed on Chronicles is faster than Ruby which is the closest comparison your going to get to euro, how your comparing the cast rate to a server you have not played in over 6 years I do not know.

Dunno what the issue is with Tao pets...
Skele higher damage lower defence
Shins higher defence lower damage
Deva medium and ranged...

Seems perfectly logical.

He's probably going on how it feels to try to play taos here and how it feels is like wading through mud. You see someone needs a heal/hide mob poisoning off them but by the time you are allowed to cast whichever rescue you chose they are dead. You cannot target people in busy places successfully which makes everything take even longer. You cant spam heal because it takes too long between casts. You cant swap from heal to puri(assuming you have been able to target the player who needs it) without a delay which feels like forever.
I gave up.

Logic doesn't exist here.

Not all that many videos of Euro Mir I could find but:

[video=youtube;FGQN3w_nSLQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGQN3w_nSLQ[/video]

Not particularly scientific but it does show a wiz continuously tbolting. How long do people think between casts there? 2.5 seconds?

I gave up.

This is exactly how I felt playing tao, Ive also given up on it. Decided to roll a warrior instead just like everyone else is doing.

I'm confident the 1.5 second global cooldown is the issue, rather than actual cast speed.

Skele is too fast.
Shinsu is too slow.

Deva - All pets (taoist or wizard afaik) have a 4 square aggro radius, as combat is usually initiated 5-6-7 spaces away from the target you often find pets are disinterested in the fight, As a result Deva takes awhile to becomes of use as if you wait for someone to get within the 4 spaces of you then you've probably just taken a TDB or Flashdash to the face.

On the plus side, with the irritating global cooldown it makes spotting cheating taoists very easy as they double poison multiple targets in a fraction of the time it takes a legitimate player.

When I first got Tbolt I said to my guild on TeamSpeak, " WTF Tbolt is slow!" but Sam does have a point about not playing this in a long time. Just feels sluggish or maybe I was to used to the cast speed of Mir 3.

Face tank and lighting anyways so whatever.

[/SUP]Something definitely needs to be done to halt the melee train currently dominating the server and its only going to get worse when wars actually get decent dc and A speed which now they don't even have, Any old 35+ war can cause a 44+ wiz trouble in shop kit especially If their fast and Sam yes their Is still incredibly unusually speedy players running about. I Could understand wars doing this damage if they had dss and good dc kit but wars with fkin gaxe and shop dc are doing half hp to Wizz/archers 10 lvls above them using a 50k skill! its madness!.

I remember doing testing with AceM2 files and Ruby Files side by side. AceM2 was significantly faster. We then changed the Speed on AceM2, and I believe that is what speed it's set to now on Chronicles... which was still faster than Ruby (Which was the exact same speed as Euro).

Personally, I don't see any issue with casting speeds.

The problem with pets is they are:
-shinsu is too slow. Don't know what damage it does as I dont stick around to check it out. If a mob is chasing you shinsu can't catch it.
-skeletons are too fast yes. But that only makes up for the higher level pets being absolute shyte. If shinsu gets a 50% speed boost ( not attack speed, movement speed ) them skeleton would be ok to be reduced.

Yes Taos seem slow. They can't really do multiple things. If someone is getting attacked and got poisoned they have to either heal or puri they can't do one then the other as it's to slow.
