Yes, it "stacks", although I'm not sure if it stacks together or seperately... Like... if one activates and makes the cast 2x as fast, can the other ALSO activate, making the spell only take 1/4 the normal time? or is it simply like having one "40% chance" mod. The wording of it makes it seem like you could hypothetically have a 75% increased speed, 20% of 20% of the time (which would be 4%.) Can anyone confirm this?

edit: i confirmed it

you can get 2x fast recharge/casting speed for the same cast.

Assuming you're allowed to hold 2 off-hands, or have 2 left hands, each percentage activation is checked separately. So no, you wouldn't have 40%, but you should have 20% + (0.8 * 0.2 = 16%) = 36%... at least that's how I understood it. Please correct me if you know otherwise.

You wouldn't have to have 2 offhands... he said idol and claw, thats collectors offhand+villnars mainhand. Yes it would be 36% chance to cast quicker than normal, but would there be a 4% chance of getting both to activate, having 1/4 cast time?

a: villnars claw is garbage. the recharge on the collectors curse truncheon is way better, and +3 while hexed is... useless.
b: if you're going to state an opinion at least show some reasoning.

I would rather have 20% recharge, 20% fast casting, 20% Curses +1 then the collecters wand.... now if you wanna talk about the BEST setup, i would suggest the following...

VILLNARS GLOVE ~ OFFHAND
MAX GOLD CURSES WAND..
+5 ENERGY(WHILE HEALTH^50%)
10% GLOBAL (RECHARGE OR FAST CASTING)

Unfortunately, curse-req gold wands don't exist in the present patch. The best wand I've been able to pair with Vilnar's Glove is this:

The one I use currently is:

Deadly Cesta (req8 death)
+4 while enchanted
20% fast recharge using curses

Not exactly what I want yet (still searching for a 20/20 curse one) but in my opinion it's MUCH better than Villnars.

yea Villnars claw isn't the best.... but this thread was comparing the collecters wand vs the claw, and in that aspect, i do believe its better!

lol, my bad
so when i posted originally and said I liked Villnars setup, that meant I like the glove... so no need to start trash-talking the claw... give ur opinion, support it, and don't trash others peoples opinions, its just annoying when u do that... and it seems like thats all u do on this forum~!

And why is that? Has anyone sent this in? Kinda goes along with why are there only two wand types for Necros (Truncheons and Deadly Cestas) while there are 50 bazillion types of axes/bows/swords.
