Default Nem Ankh set cast speed doesn't stack with Facile Grace?

Anyone else noticed that the Nem Ankh armour set cast speed doesn't stack with your INT AA line Facile Grace ability?

If Holy Intercession takes 5 seconds to cast, then it should be 3.3s with Nem Ankh and 2.6 with Nem Ankh set and max Facile Grace... that's not the case though. Even though it clearly lists the 14% Facile Grace increase on the persona window, it ignores it in the cast time. Nem Ankh always trumps AA cast speed and overwrites it.

Doesn't sound fair, does it? Or am I missing something?

There is probably a cap you are at.

I always thought that the Nem Ankh set was overpowered anyways.

It is kinda retarded that a set bonus is over double as effective as spending 21 AA points.

Yeah. Always thought the same thing Kizee. I think you should cut your losses Valk. With both, its almost 50% cast reductions. Not going to happen.

You're not calculating haste correctly. The formula you're using dictates that 100% haste is zero casting time, which isn't correct. If such were the case, then what would 125% auto-attack haste be? 1.25 * Infinity? Since we know that 125% auto-attack haste is possible, then that formula is impossible.

The correct formula is CastTime / (1 + HasteDecimal). This means that at 100% haste, you are casting twice as fast, not infinitely fast.

5.0 / (1 + 0.14) = 4.39
5.0 / (1 + 0.33) = 3.76 not 3.35
5.0 / (1 + 0.47) = 3.40 not 2.65
