In general which is more important in mmorpgs?

Question

Cast time or Attack power?

Answer 1

Well deppends on the game of curse. But i guess cast time would be the best. if u can hit 300 damage with a spell but u need 5 seconds to cast it, this wont work. but if u can do 140 or 160 in 2 seconds this is goint to be like 450 damage in the 5 seconds u did the 1000 damage but anyway depends on the game. In other hands u dont have to focus on the cast time or damage... this is always the comon problem to start playing a mmorpg. Make sure to ask the players in the game what u need to do with ur character. Also the web guides are a fine source of faq's and other information

Answer 2

It depends, if you have a spell that takes 5 seconds to cast and does 1000 damage...and another spell that takes 2.5 seconds to cast and does 600 damage, the faster spell would be better. But if you have a 2 second spell that only does, say 200 damage and an 8 second spell that does 1500 damage, you will want to use the 8 second spell.

It could go either way, so I would really try to keep them pretty even in the stats.

Answer 3

Apples and oranges.
You mean, cast time and magic damage OR attack speed and attack damage.

I'm going to answer this question by quoting my dad: "Son, it's not how hard you hit them, it's how often."

Faster attack speed with lower damage is preferable to slower attack speed and higher damage. Same goes for magic damage.

Answer 4

attack power because if your casting and it takes a little and the enemies start to move in you can always kick the crap out of them when they get close.
