Elden Ring: How Much Does Dex Affect Cast Speed?

Showing off in Elden Ring how much Dexterity increases cast speed from level 12 to 28.
Long story short, you gain about 1 frame (~16ms) for every 6 dex (with glintstone pebble)
Not really worth it, unless you're a Dex build(duh) or PVPing.
There's not enough frames to save you from the lag in PVP though ;)

Wish all the “before” panels were with the 12 Dex baseline to better see the effect. This is also useful at least to see what Dex breakpoints seem to be actually shaving a frame or two off the cast time.

This video isn't helpful at all. You don't do before and after in increments of 1. That displays nothing. You compare it to big jumps. Start at the base 12, then go up to 20, then 30, then 40 etc and you still compare those to 12 each time.

To anybody using incantations: many of them are slower to cast, so boosting DEX a little makes a pretty big difference.

[travisabr]

It is more noticeable on slower spells. Pebble is already a fast spell

[ChaosRUsEnt]

There is definitely a noticeable difference between 12 and 28

[TheForhekset]

I invested in faith, and incantations are much slower so the dex made a big difference. Pebble is already very fast so it doesn't improve much.

Thanks for the comparison!

2 things: 1) would love a side by side comparison with Radagon’s icon (+30 Dex for spell cast). 2) would also like to see a comparison with adula’s moon blade.

[canocan]

You are using a spell that can't get faster, use rock throw or something that takes longer than the animation to cast.

[Algahiem]

Unless you you running a Dex/Int or Dex/Faith build to maximise weapon AR, pumping dex past 30 purely for cast speed isn't usually worth it for a pure caster build. If you going full caster, just equip Radagon Icon, it gives you casting speed equivalent of having around +69 dex.

But whatever you do, I DO NOT recommend the Beloved Stardust DLC talisman, no amount of casting speed is worth -30% damage absorption.

[КоньВПальто-ер]

For all these "scientific method" enthusiasts. Dexterity never made a giant in casting speed increase per lvl, yet reaching casting speed cap can make a life and death difference, especially in pvp.
Example: there is 1 thing called "true combo" it means that landing one attack guarantees another. In DS3 there were spells like greatsword or old moonlight. You could true combo them after landing a light attack from various melee weapons. I could not perform a true combo at 45 dex, but it was not a problem at 50 dex (casting speed cap). Difference was not noticeable by a human eye, yet it was important to keep casting speed cap. I guess I shouldn't explain that landing a second powerfull attack is a great advantage in pvp.

Why would you do a showcase of comparison of casting speed of 1 dex difference.. that first half of your video was pointless

[mikem]

I think u pinning this video, is what made me subscribe to your channel. To much drama and shitting on other people online . You acknowledging here’s a great video TOO.. shows your maturity and common sense. People act like there success is contingent on other people failing. Well done, gonna check out that rune farming video you got

[joeylindsey]

Wow I can REALLY see a difference between a cast speed between 105% and 106% but if you ask me you can REALLY see a difference once it goes from 107% to 108% cast speed. Thanks OP for uploading the differences in 1% increments. We can REALLY see a difference. Especially when you get to high levels and get diminishing returns to the higher up you go the small the difference becomes between each level up EVEN THOUGH each example is fast than before. Truly bravo

[Tonym-eysl]

better off just getting a Talisman that reduces cast time and put those points into intelligence and mind

[emperortwan]

Does dex work on faith healing spells?

[Youngmuniii]

this video makes it look as if the boost is so very small that there’s zero point to dex sec for spells

[KhannUurrr]

I wonder how Dex levels compare to the Radagon Icon Talisman, because at some point 1 talisman slot being the same as an effective number of levels makes it more efficient to use the talisman

[brianw]

Not by much. Makes it pointless tbh
A .5 sec difference after 16 levels is disappointing

[mistermysteryman]

In other words it’s damn near negligible and worthless. Better to pump mind and vigor

[galloviking]

RIP Sage Ring +3, you will be missed.
If only mind worked on Cast Speed. I guess that makes too much sense.
