Archers

[Bowydude]

Now, before people start shouting at me about the bless boxes, they were a great addition, but im thinking, why not make archer locked rings that have a bit of -channeling on them, so its actually worth going sage archers, because on this server, demon quickshot just gets rid of the idea of a sage archer completley

Channeling is different then CT (Casting Time)
Channelling is the first bar after the bar is filled thats when CT (Casting Time) takes place.
From my understanding from other thread, It wasn't the Channeling added it was the Casting Time meaning when u fire ur shot not when ur charging it. Channeling is the natural Bar being filled to Cast. So people QQing about Channeling really didn't know what they were referring to and most of them haven't rolled an EA to figure it out o.O'
(Not Bashing anyone, just stating an opinion)

it is the channeling, I just messed up the terms (actually used old MY-EN term)
there is no stat that would reduce casting time (casting time as PWI term)

Yeah, those 2 are different but if I recall right, casting time is a lot higher for archers than channeling time. Also yeah, I've never seen an item with actual -casting time on it.

I gave up -chan on my Cleric.
You can reduce only Channeling, while Casting and Cooldown remain the same.
And with AoE's (Razor Feathers, Siren Kiss and Tempest) problem is Cooldown
(and chi), Channeling is of much less importance.

So I put +mag atk stones to my weapon. Hitting harder reduces number of hits required,
and compensates lack of that slight increase in hit speed from not taking -chan.
