How Dexterity Affects Cast Speed | Testing | Elden Ring

While digging through the files I saw that every spell as a Dex Casting Speed Min and Max, and its almost 10 min and 70 Max. So I wanted to check to see how much Dex changes your cast speed.

Radagaons Icon is +30 to this cast speed, and the Azur Staff is +40 so you can feasibly get max cast speed with no dex investment. I just wanted to see what it was like with Pure Dex Scaling, and maybe a LITTLE bit without requiring a specific weapon to use.

Theres also a cast speed talisman which you can combine with the staff, so theres plenty of options to run no dex if you want.

Yeah just playing around here, and figured I'd upload my tests.

One important note: For a single cast the different don’t appear to be that huge however when you start chain casting the difference really start to become obvious.

After all these years, hearing music from the Ragnarok Online soundtrack did things to me.

[Plusimurfriend]

Radagon is 30 virtual dex, so you need 40 dex to reach the cap of 70 dex to have the maximum spell cast speed.

This actually is really usefull to see, always needed a visual of how much Dex ACTUALLY did

[jstar]

So: max is 70, which is why 60 and 99 are similar
The speedup is based on the total length of the animation
The length of time a hitbox is out (sword sorcieries have the same swing speed) does not change, so for ones with active hitboxes only windup and ending lag

Excellent videos clarifying all the frequent and infrequent doubts in Elden Ring

Icon plus 30 is what I've been running. Nice. Thanks for this!

Excuse me, is this RAGNAROK ONLINE soundtrack, the OG "dex reduced casttime" game???? Very wholesome

[ninjason]

Id like to see people test with faith incantations. Everyone only tests with Int magic

[zensawa]

this ragnarok music makes me wanna play again. df

If you don’t want to drop the dex tax for faster speed, keep swift glintstone in front of the spell you wish to cast (ie: cometshard) and combo the spell. It will speed up the spell by negating the runic wind up portion. This won’t work on channels or long charges (azure comet). It helps for chunkier mobs that you don’t have to time to full charge on. Hitting the mob with swift is unnecessary so you can face away, cast, target lock, combo into shard, without initiating combat

The music you chose is amazing, I get the old nostalgic Diablo and Diablo 2 vibes from it

[BrianBGeronimo]

Nostalgic music from Ragnarok Online. And just like RO, Dex affects casting time. 😁

[xeneroth]

Absolutely loving this Ragnarok Online Musik

This was the best comparison video I have seen. It doesnt need to be 20mins long to compare what the speeds look like from dex 1-99.

[xLizardEnthosx]

Bless you this helps so much with figuring out the best dps times for things

[HArryvajonas]

I assumed this affected slower casting spells more and your video seems to show this. The several other casting videos use faster spells and Dex did not seem to have nearly the impact shown here.

[Arlithian]

Great info as always. Thanks Phemeto!

[sannyassi]

seems it depends on the spell, this is very interesting. Certain spells dex seems super helpful, but others, almost useless. Really great video showing the differences! Seems radagons icon makes dex insignificant if you get it to 30. That's some neat info.

[IsraTheBlack]

I think the icon has an artificial +30 to dex.
