Please change the new "Righteous Fire of Arcane devotion" To grant Increased cast speed

As a Big fan of Brand skills, this means i won't be able to use this skill's effect for brands, as More and less multipliers to cast speed specifically do NOT affect brands, Or of course make it so that brands Do get affected by them, (outside of the initial casting of the brand)

This is a HUGE damage multiplier for spells, and it being excluded for brands is just a feels bad moment, brands are NOT op or even insanely good, (outside of penance brand maybe but thats a skill that could be nerfed by itself, all the other brands are wayy behind in damage)

Hope to hear a positive reply to this thread or atleast an update in the patch notes!

I disagree with you on this. If they did that, then it would only be logical to give the same treatment to righteous fire as it has the same issue with things that benefit from increases but not modifiers to spell damage. I think that the more modifier is the right way to go.

unless you use recall brand (which is bad in most scenario's outside of wintertide brand) its just as much a self cast as any

While I understand your point, the fact that this line:

"Increases and Reductions to Cast Speed also apply to this Skill's Activation frequency"

Specifically disables "more" and "less" modifiers is odd, and unneeded. as I mentioned in my original post, I'd be happy if it DOES affect brands.

Its an "Increase" To cast speed in my mind, but the code doesnt see it as such

Sorry, they're trying to make changes for the other 90% of the players.

Yeah, we know the mechanic, but as other posters have said GGG is trying to bring Self-Cast in line. And brands are not self cast. They are like totems that stick to the target. There are admittedly some other differences that will make it feel more like self cast, but they most certainly are not. This is ultimately, I'll bet, exactly why you like brand playstyle so much. And at the end of the day, your brand skills haven't really been nerfed, so it's hard to understand the complaint.

Self-cast spells needed some love and that's what they are trying to do. If you want to benefit from the MORE spell damage without self-casting, try totems.
