How it works is reducing by % the damage you receive while you are casting an spell.
If you got 50% cast defense, you would receive just the half of the total damage.
But just while you are casting an spell (While the Blue Bar is charging)
So it is kinda useless if you use fast spells, such as Basic Elemental ones (Thunderbolt, Ice Spear, etc), Bandersnatch or Thor's Hammer.
You will normally use it while you use Imperial Ray.
It really does help.
Still, HW has terrible survivability.

Well at least cast defense is good 🤘I need an aoe farmer really badly 😂
I noticed we can easily get 35-40% using good equips (jahoel al, agira, universe, etc.) and with multicast there should be time to use it
Thanks guys

Honestly even with dmg set I'm fine, I usually heal if necessary and use auto onigiris. The worst farm in my entire hw life is chainspawning jagwar at pta, even worse than ep.6 mobs so far. But they are still manageable with thick revitas. I believe there are worse mobs as I don't experience every mobs in Iruna but if that moment ever happen and I can't use dmg set to 1-shot them, I won't bother farming that particular mobs ever. If by aoe farm you mean grinding 3i then I think it's good. Never tried this tho. If by aoe farm you mean farm field boss like veleno then I think only cast barrier is not enough. You still need resist set when you get stunned or in danger. Also need some pots. Imo, imperial is great at veleno pta. Plus, if my memory still good, when you use force boost after the loe meter reach 100 the dmg will continue to rise after each great magic-imperial combo. The problem is always survival. |

Cast Defense is near useless for Mobs, exceptionally good for Bosses.
2 Agira on Spec+Forbidden Book Vol5 gives 90% with no loss in dmg. It's a % decrease to damage taken which seems to work on all damage types, such as Roy who ignores Resist almost entirely.

Wow it seems better than I thought it’d be.
I was thinking of doing something memeish with scroll case and forbidden book, but I know the bottle neck would of course be the skill delay window that we can’t shorten. But I think it’s still good enough to use where I can for sure!
