Quick question that I think I already know the answer to (I believe the answer is no):

Just saw Swiftspell's Staff drop which happens to have Fast Casting +1 (20% chance while using skills) on it. Can this be triggered by classes that are not mesmers? For example, can a Warrior get casting time of Healing Signet reduced to that gamebreaking 1.94s, or for a more serious example, a Resurrection Signet get cast in 2.91s?

Thanks in advance.

It will only work on Spells from the Fast Casting spell line.

Nice question, haven't really thought of it myself, but wiki has the answer.

Of <Attribute> is a weapon upgrade that grants a 10-20% chance of increasing a specific attribute by one when calculating the strength of a skill that is linked to that attribute. This bonus does not effect the inherent effects of the attribute in question

You know, I even read that on wiki and for some reason it didn't trigger in my head what that meant. I'm an idiot.

Thanks everybody, particularly take_me. I think what confused me is the chance while using skills.

i love it when people think they're correcting people but they're wrong, especially when the answer is well documented.
