Summary0005938: Spell cooldowns seem off
DescriptionI'm uncertain at what level the cooldowns were normalised at compared to the old casting speed, but I certainly cast Ball Lightning faster than every 1.5s right now (judging by the cooldown of Deploy Bear Trap, I'd say 0.7-0.8s). If the casting speed is constant (outside of enchantments), perhaps the new casting speed could be reflected in the spell-descriptions (or the new casting speed could be set at its base values, and not at an increased rate)?

I put it at casting speed 5 -- I think a lot of people tended to play with it much higher than that. Are you feeling like the casting speed is faster than it was before, though?

I always played with as low a casting speed as I could, actually, since I could easily simulate a faster casting speed by parallel-casting Lightning Ball and Forest Rage (meaning I still churned out one spell every 0.7-0.8s). I realise why I cast spells faster now, but the problem is that the number in the description of the spell matters very little; you no longer have a sliding scale of casting speeds, but rather a single fixed rate, meaning you never ever cast the spells at the speed indicated in the spell description.

Also, I guess this issue ties in with 0004301 (gosh, that seems like a long time ago, even though it was actually rather recent).

Thanks!

* Previously, the spell cooldowns were reported incorrectly (and in a few places even being applied incorrectly when it came to enchants modifying the cooldowns). All of this logic has now been centralized, so that it reports what the real number is, and always uses that real number.
