Mind should increase cast speed

[Mantab Souls]

Why they tied cast speed with dex? Any idea?

[ShadowDark3]

Tying an increase in cast speed to a stat that already increases the power of magic is just asking for spells scaling off mind to be OP (we'll ignore the current discussion around whether current-state magic is OP or not).

It's better design to make players decide, do I want to cast faster or stronger, rather than giving both for the price of one.

The current memory slot system is amazing, in my opinion.

One thing i really dont like about it is that most memory stones you get from chests located in terrible puzzle towers, and in ng plus the chests will just be empty if you already got them in ng.

I would buy this a little, but the cast speed increase gains are so incredibly miniscule that it is always (caveat: not if you're level 500 or something) better to invest in damage. The disparity is so extreme that there's no functional choice to be had, and especially not when you can get something like 30-40 levels worth of cast speed investment by just tossing on a talisman.

I think that's the point since i remember there are some staff with high casting speed but do less damage.

THis is my fav menory slot system they've made thus far.

Yeah this attunement system isn't bad since it doesn't matter how much spell slot u have if u are melee build it's useless. Basically big brain but empty lol

Ds2 had best spellcasting system.
Dunno why they decided to hand out so many memory slots in er when most spells besides a few only take 1.

There's a joke about mental gymnastics somewhere in here...

Dex increases Spell casting only but not Incantation?

It works on incantations as well as sorceries.

Where's the clumsy magic category? Where you go to Catch Flame someone but instead your chime slips out of your hand and you explode violently on both yourself and the opponent because you didn't have high enough dexterity.

My Dex is like 72 but I don't notice faster incantations. What Dex value do you need to see a difference in speed?

70 is the casting speed cap IIRC

It is pretty generous.
