NPCs casting Ice Comet much too quickly

[booter]

I've mostly seen it happen at the disco camp (with the illis wizards), but sometimes the cast time on Ice Comet is roughly 2 seconds, and it should be much longer than that.

Yep. Lots of NPCs cast spells way faster than they should. Another example are myconid priests/adepts; those divine lights are way too fast.

Well, this is an easy one to prove or disprove. Not quite 2 seconds though.

They shouldn't be casting Ice Comet hardly ever.

Actually on p99 wizard NPCs do cast magic DDs more often than fire/cold.

Agreed. Force Shock is their spell of choice. But a 3-4 second 1100 Ice Comet is seriously fucked up.

Yeah, cast timers in general need to be looked into. Many NPCs cast spells faster than they should be (i've noticed the ultra fast divine lights as well).

Nod, now that I think of it I've gotten blasted a couple of times this way.. /bump
