Just out of curiosity.. if there is a 12 second recast, how can one twist songs? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If the recast delay starts when you begin the song, you could still twist songs. The duration on most songs is 3 ticks. That means they last at least 12 seconds and up to 18 seconds depending on when you start singing the song.

There was no recast delay that was applied to all songs. There were a couple of songs that had recast delays, though, to avoid them being chained for damage purposes (the one I remember is DDD, but I think one of the later AoE DD spells had a recast delay, too -- I'm not sure on the era this was from, though).

Also, Chords of Dissonance did not have a recast delay.
