Guess I'll just dump this here.
Code
<if Spell="BLIZZARD V">
<castdelay delay="0.2"/>
<equip when="precast" set="FASTCAST" />
<equip when="midcast" set="NUKE" />
<equip when="aftercast" set="IDLE" />
</if>

Looking to use something like this to control (decrease) aftercast delay. Not 100% sure how to mark it up.
Code
<command when="Midcast">wait 5;sc set IDLE</command>


I have a max fastcast set I use for precasts.
Bliz 5 takes 2.5~ to cast. (18% casting bar)
But it takes over 3~ after casting to idle. Which is forever to wait, unless you like Bliz 2ing in your idle.

That should be fine, just put it in the middle of your rules, like this (too lazy to format):

Blizz5
delay
precast
midcast nuke
midcast command
aftercast


If you want, you could probably change the casting times in the resources file, but if you have/use RDM/SCH, you'll need to play with aftercast delays in their XML's to compensate for the lowered timers.


EDIT: If you're wanting to use SC to control the reduction in time, then try using precast command instead of midcast, will cut down an extra few bits of seconds.
