While you are still progressing in gear, my recommendation is not to focus on Variable Cast Time too much and just allocate a lot of stats into int and dex. In the future, however, you will want to try to have high VCT % reduction and not focus as much on VCT through stats. That being said, FCT reduction should be one of your primary goals early on. | While you are still progressing in gear, my recommendation is not to focus on Variable Cast Time through gears too much and just allocate a lot of stats into int and dex.

To get an understanding of how Cast time reduction works, let's use Soul Vulcan Strike which has a 1s Fixed and 3s Variable Cast Time. To reduce my Fixed Cast time, I could use +7 {{#item: 470021}} for -.5s, {{#item: 25170}} for -.3s, and the {{#item: 490064}} and {{#item: 490065}} combo for -.2s totalling -1s FCT. For Variable Cast Time if I had 151 int and 84 dex (84*2 + 151) I would have 319/530 = 77.58% VCT Reduction. Additionally, if I had 77% VCT reduction from stats, my total VCT left would be (1-.7758)*(1-.77) = 0.05156 (5.16%) giving me a total of 94.84% VCT reduction, and my SVS cast time would be .154 seconds. | To get an understanding of how Cast time reduction works, let's use Soul Vulcan Strike which has a 1s Fixed and 3s Variable Cast Time.
