    Improved Stuns
    This Passive Ability Improves your stun spells.
    Rank1 Reduces the cast time of your stuns by 50% (this was purchasable pre-EOK, TBM I think)
    Rank 2-3 Reduce most of your stun spells by 1 second per rank.

    I have rank 1 and my stun spells 101+ (spells directly cast, not spells triggered by another spell) are;
    Lvl 101 Ardent Force - Cast time of 1.0sec but modified to 0.5 secs, presumably by rank 1 of this AA and worn focus)
    Lvl 101 Dichotomic Force - Cast time 0.0 secs (cheap at half the price for 8000+ mana:eek:)
    Lvl 102 Lesson of Grief - Cast time 2.0 (modified to 1.0)
    Lvl 104 Force of Ardency - Cast time 1.0 (modified to 0.5)
    Lvl 105 Force of the Darkened Sea - Cast time 1.0 (modified to 0.5)

    So my question is, does rank 2 of this ability reduce some (or any of the above) to insta-cast?

    Also if it does, what is the point of rank 3?

    Think the important missing word is "recast".

    Dichotomic Force is excluded from the 1 second part for ranks 2-3

    1: Increase Spell Haste by 50%
    2: Limit Effect: Stun
    3: Limit Max Level: 253 (lose 100% per level)
    4: Limit Min Mana Cost: 1
    5: Reduce Timer by 1s
    6: Limit Effect: Stun
    7: Limit Max Level: 253 (lose 100% per level)
    8: Limit Min Mana Cost: 1
    9: Limit Spells: Exclude Dichotomic Force


    EDIT: Also what Brudal said :p It's 1 second quicker RECAST.

    Thanks Brudal. English being my first language I sometimes take it for granted!
