Mesmer's fast casting question
Chester
does it affect ALL skills or only mesmer skills. For ex. a ranger's expertise only works for its own skills not for any other profession. so im a m/e and i want to know if i put fast casting, would it affect my ele. skills?

It works on all spells.

I have fast casting set at 5 attribute and it work well with my character.

You really start to notice a huge difference after about 6 or 7 in the attribute.
A good way to see it is by casting Chaos Storm at 5, and then again at 7.

Expertise doesn't just work on ranger skills, it works on warrior attack skills as well.
Btw, make sure you're not using fast casting on an air spiker, it's of marginal benefit, but it works well with earth and fire because of the timing required for hitting groups with aoes and the long cast times.

Heh, that's not true at all. Chain Lightning has a nice big cast time. Fast Casting lets you pop it off pretty quickly. Same goes for Lightning Orb and Lightning Surge. And Thunderclap or Glimmering Mark if you use those.
Not every Air Spiker skill is as fast as Strike or Envenerating Charge.

2 seconds isn't very long, and while I could see the point in going fast cast if most of your spells took that long (like normal mesmer skills), there's no point if that's your only slower casting spell.
Also, primary mesmers cannot effectively use exhaustion spells. You NEED energy storage for that.

Heh, says you.
I use them quite well thanks.
