Instant Casting Build

Intro

Casting a skill has been a big question for Brotherhood RO, many are asking how to get instant cast for their skills. Different skill has different casting time, and cooldown, you can check every skill's Casting Information ingame. Some skills doesn't require heavy investment in Casting gears to reach instant cast, but other skills could require more!

Different terms

Variable Casting Time	This in short VCT, it a loading time for certain skills. It can be reduced by stats, items, equipment.
Fixed Casting Time	This in short FCT, it's a loading time for certain skills. It can't be reduced by stats only by items or equipment.
Skill Cooldown	A skill CD, it's for individual skills that has cooldown after you cast it, only affects 1 skill.
Global Cooldown	This is GCD, it's a global cooldown that affects all skills after you cast a certain skill.
Base Fixed Cast	Skills that do not have their own fixed cast value still keep 20% of their total cast time as Fixed Casting Time, the other 80% is Variable Casting Time.

Reduce VCT with stats

Once upon a time, you could reduce the whole casting time with only stats...but that's no longer the case in modern Brotherhood RO. You can ONLY reduce Variable Casting Time using stats and item bonus that reduces VCT. YES! In Brotherhood RO, you can reduce VCT with both stats + item bonus COMBINED! Whatever is left after your stat reduction can be covered by your equipment.	Formula: sqrt((DEX × 2 + INT) / 530) = VCT reduction, capped at 100% 530 points = 100% VCT reduced 265 points = 70.7% VCT reduced, the stat curve is not linear so half of the points is not half of the cast time Examples: 100 DEX + 330 INT = 530 = 100% VCT reduced 150 DEX + 230 INT, 200 DEX + 130 INT, 130 DEX + 270 INT, 180 DEX + 170 INT....
How stats and items stack: the stat reduction and the equipment/buff reduction are added together then capped at 100%. Example: 265 points (70.7%) from stats + 30% from equipment = 100% VCT reduced = instant cast.
