My char is a ranger dual to cleric now, and it plays great. Great melee abbilities and good spell casting. However, is there anyway to improve the casting speed for a cleric/druid?
A ton of the spells are pratically useless if you wan't to try to win a particular fight on your one, which I usually try first. Summon insects, poison, flame strike, false dawn, etc are useless if you don't make sure someone else is taking the first punches so your spell is not interupted. Sanctuary doensn't help by the way, since these are offensive spells.

Any good ideas anyone for items which imprive spell casting or good spell combinations anyone?

<font color="gold">You can go to Baldurdash and download the bonus merchants. The mercahnt Deidre, located in Adventurer's Mart, should sell a robe called Robe of Vecna, which improves your spellcasting. ;)

EDIT: Oops, sorry, just remembered that it is only for Mages. Sorry. </font>

Hmmm, I am not sure about this, but doesn't the Amulet of power improve casting speed for clerics?

<font color="gold">Amulet of Power? That's the amulet that you get from Aran Linvail, right? AFAIK, it only makes you immune to Vamps and some other thing. Maybe the other thing is faster spellcasting, but I dont think so.</font>

Amulet of Power
This amulet bears the signature enchantments of Conster Damon, an archmage that fell in the Year of the Dracorage (1018DR). The crispness of its etchings may have faded with fire and time, but it still echoes his famous defiant cries: "Your magic denied!" "I will be heard!" "Defeat comes swiftly!" "Take nothing from me!" It has seen much use, and changed hands many times through blood and battle.

But I am confused now; what does "decrease spell casting speed" mean exactly? Is it positive or negative?

Sir Exxon 05-03-2002 06:59 PM

<font color="gold">Negative, unfortunetly. The positive word is increase. ;) </font>
