what is cast exactly

[['w']]

For example does the charged staff of the monk, which is a spell count as casting?
charged staff = spell
Attack,Buff,AOE,Duration

A spell is a spell, an attack is an attack :p
They can't be both. You will not find any skill gem with both Spell and Attack tags.

So the idea is to memorize this:
- Use "Skill" as a global word for any active gem.
- Anything that has the "Attack" tag is not a spell
- Anything that has the "Spell" tag is not an attack

This brings to the final point: Cast speed only works for Spells. Attack speed only works for Attacks :)

"Skill speed" works additively for both "Attacks" and "Spells" tags.

Where do you see "attack" and "spell" tags? My skills don't have either of those.

They will be listed in the skill description. All skills are classified by these categories ie AOE, Cast, Hex, Attack etc

You know the fun part, regarding

charged staff = spell
Attack,Buff,AOE,Duration

Attack and Cast bonuses, both apply to this skill

And increased spell damage does nothing for that skill
