animation delay of desperado

[Jerold]

is it true that if you increase agi stat you also have less animation delay? I've read in some forums that animation delay is a factor on how fast you can spam desperado besides the after cast delay is it true?

[yawnzz]

Probably yes, but the animation delay is minuscule compared to the cast delay

What yawnzz said is half wrong half right.

thing is, ASPD plays a role in almost every skill and it becomes more notable the more -aftercast gear you get (or bragi)

imagine having -100% aftercast delay (3 kiel and bragi, or something) .. but you only have 160 ASPD. This means the maximum you can ever spam, regardless of the fact that you have -100% aftercast delay, is 1.25 desperados per second.
Less ASPD with -100% aftercast means you're capping yourself, while, for example if you have 190 ASPD you could be doing 5.00 desperados per second.

You'll have to find a balance between ASPD and -aftercast.

ps:
If you have NO -aftercast gear at all, the difference between 160 aspd and 190 aspd is NOTHING when it comes to spamming
desperado.

edit:
so yes, it's a different factor.. and there are like 4 in total:
ASPD
Client sided animation delay
Aftercast
Cast time (invisible(bowlingbash) or visible)

I reassign blame to these posters who give minimal information.
