Cast Time

Overview
The Cast Time formula on this iroWiki page is accurate, except our formula only includes Variable Cast Time (VCT). Thus, our formula is:
Cast Time = VCT = BaseVCT × (1 − SQRT[{DEX × 2 + INT} ÷ 530]) × (1 − Sum_VCTReduc ÷ 100)
- BaseVCT = Base Variable Cast Time of a skill.
- Sum_VCTReduc = Sum of reductions for Variable Cast Time, like Suffragium, Poem of Bragi, etc.
Example 1: What's my cast time before reductions with 80 INT, 80 DEX for Level 10 Storm Gust?
Level 10 Storm Gust Base VCT = 9.6 seconds (12 seconds * 0.20 = 9.6)
// Before VCT reductions
Cast Time = 9.6 * (1 - SQRT[{80 x 2 + 80} / 530])
Cast Time = 9.6 * (1 - SQRT[0.4528])
Cast Time = 9.6 * (1 - 0.6729)
Cast Time = 9.6 * 0.3271 = 3.14016 seconds
Example 2: What's my cast time before reductions with 90 INT, 90 DEX for Level 10 Magnus Exorcismus?
Level 10 Magnus Exorcismus Base VCT = 14 seconds
* Note: ME doesn't follow the 20% reduction in Fixed Cast Time like Storm Gust
// Before VCT reductions
Cast Time = 14 * (1 - SQRT[{90 x 2 + 90} / 530])
Cast Time = 14 * (1 - SQRT[.509433962])
Cast Time = 14 * (1 - 0.7137226352)
Cast Time = 14 * .286277365 = 4.007 seconds
