    If you are a cashshopper - both
    If not - I suggest crit, since it's cheaper to get decent level of crit rate.

    99 gear for crit would be like;
    2x attendance ring @ +3% each x2
    tt99 sword @ +3% x1
    demon masteries @ +1% ea x3
    base @ +1%
    xmas tome @ + 1% x1
    = 14% crit fairly cheap
    include WS belt for extra +1%, tt99 boots + stick 6 points into dex (to have 20 total) = +1% crit as well

    Most end game gear incorporates both.

    Lunar rings - -6% chan +3% crit +250 pdef each
    hh99 wrists -6%
    weapon either channeling crit or both
    nirvana pants and top give crit and channeling.

    I have -21% channeling and 17% crit myself. You can do whatever you want but I highly suggest you do not sacrifice pdef (pdef adorns) for -channeling (mdef adorns)

    Good to have a mixture of both.

    Prohib, demon masteries don't stack.

    I personally focused crit until 100, then got the 99 gear and event rings to have both. ~33-36% channeling and 16% listed crit, masteries are in there afterwards.

    *Carry a second set of heavy phys def gear in either case*

    What is the lowest -chan u can get? Not so interested in crits (although seeing those big numbers is nice). I'd like to be able to at least cast the spell, and worry about what damage it does afterwards...

    83% channeling is the max
    Unless I missed something:

    10% from lunar nirvana/Beamhoof slicer with 2 stone of savants
    3% Warsoul helmet
    6% from rank top
    3% 2nd cast nirvana pants
    6% from 2 rings
    1% from tome..is there more possible?
    12% from belt
    12% from sleeves
    12% from necklace
    6% from cape

    rings/wrists/neck/belt all have a CHANCE to get up to 3 -channel stats, so a possible -18% channeling per item. Don't think any item exists on the server with -6% channeling 3 times.. but it is "possible".

    There are -18% sleeves on DW server, and the same can be gotten on rings, belt and neck aswell.

    Ah wow..didn't think -18 was possible. Guess that's how that video of a wizard with what was it..120% chanelling was possible

    like people said, the best choice would be both, but im guessing it rly depends on how u play and what u want to do with ur char.

    currently i have 18% crit (considering 3 masteries stack, but we never know. description sugests it does) and 21% chanel. could get 27% if i bothered to buy a second lunar ring.
    I changed from TT99 glaive to TT99 magic sword after i started tw'ing since i noticed the most eficient way to kill the classes i was told to (mostly bms and archers, since im usually on suport, not cata kill) is to land a crit or 2, so i'd say i like crit better than chanel (still gonna get crit belt - helm - top one day)...

    so, im not a pvp'er but it seems common sense that if u are one, u should use phys def orns instead of channeling ones. I do change for -6 %chanel ornaments for nirvana/TT/warsong /other pve instances.

    That would be 16% channelling?

    Beamhoof (and lucky nirvanas) have 10% even without those stones...

    I'm sure I worded it well enough..if you thought I meant it another way, that means I think a weapon can have 4% channeling on it..which is obviously wrong. 10% from the weapon PLUS/WITH 2 savants..

    Thanks for the answers. So with that much -chan gear, does it significantly improve the time it takes to hit someone with say BIDS or BT? Or is it generally better for the lower spells like glacial and divine pyro?

    Ultis yes, because they have low cast times and long channel times. Generally best spells to use would be those with long channeling and low casting times.

    Is there any gear that decreases cast time? I see that certain Demon skills have this in the description, wondering if you can get -chan and -cast?

    There is no way to reduce cast time on a wizard (only way for other classes is by learning a select few lvl11 skills)

    if it says cast then its a typo, nothing decreases cast time as far as i know.

    Casting time is possible to decrease almost to zero. It's a bug in game. When you have +95% NOT 100% channeling, the casting time thanks to this bug disappear. Of course impossible to get in this version PW.

    Can it be exactly 95% to work, or does it need to be between 96% and 99%?
