Notes

• This mod affects the casting animations of most abilities, including Focus powers.
  • It will not however affect the attack speed of  Blade Storm or  Peacemaker.
• The calculation for casting time is (Base Time) ÷ (1.00 + Speed Bonus). At maximum rank, expect a ~33% reduction in casting time.
• This mod stacks with  Speed Drift.

Tips

• It synergizes well with  Fleeting Expertise,  Streamline and  Flow, as the energy cost reduction (and/or increased energy pool) encourages the use of easily spammable abilities.
• This mod is very useful for abilities with long casting times, such as  Nekros'  Shadows Of The Dead or  Mag's  Crush.

Trivia

• Natural Talent was first leaked on Update 10.0 (2013-09-13) and used to have a maximum effect of +100% casting speed. It was retrieved shortly afterward and re-released in Update 12.0 (2014-02-05), albeit with its effects reduced.
