daze + whining casters = 2X ?

[The Fox]

Hi guys. I was wondering if daze was changed to only slow casting by 2X. I considered making a build around it, but for me to do it effectively that's really the only thing I would do. If it was changed from 3X to 2X is that still worthwhile with a bow? Most people will not use many spells over 1 second casting, so if it's really the 2X then one's probably only extending spell casting to 2 seconds. Can I get a bow with a low arch that will hit faster than every two seconds?... I seem to recall there being one that did so, but can't remember now. Thanks again for your thoughts & knowledge.

I don't know the specific details on dazed, but speaking as a monk, turning my orison into 2 seconds, is a loooong 2 seconds... Also, a sort of related question to anyone, does migraine, conundrum, and dazed stack? Would that be 6 or 8x casting speed? That seems really good.

hmm... i guess i wasn't thinking about the fact that my target should be the same target as my allies, which would mean I don't need to hit the dazed person as much. hehehe maybe I should try my build after all... ;) I'm sure you'll enjoy those 2 second, easily interuptable orisions. :)

Even if you can't manage to interrupt their spells, double casting time is still devastating. And if you don't think many people use skills with casting times over 1 second... you're wrong.
Lot's of elementalists use Fire Storm, Fireball, Phoenix, Lava Font, and other spells with casting times of 2-4... doubling that to 4-8, which is pretty bad cast time for spells that are not outstanding.
