So i was playing around with Turn Based mode and Dexterity does not seem to affect does a spell take 1 turn to finish casting (in the same turn as i order) or in turn 2. I tried a Chanter with 3 Dex in heaviest armor available and then a new game with a Chanter with 19 Dex and no armor. In both cases my cast (summon skeletons) started in turn 1 and ended in turn 2. There was an in game tooltip about initiative and how it will make spells be casted faster. Perhaps this impacts how soon in Turn 2 my spell would finish casting? But at the moment it seems there is absolutely no way to make a Spell cast faster (in the same turn instead of next)?

Most guides and forum threads i can find about Rangers are from when PoE was released, and pretty much all of them state that Rangers are a worthless class. Has that changed though the patches, especially the big 2.0 White March updates?

I recently started PoE, but i am a bit confused about attributes (even after reading the gamepedia). Please correct me if i am wrong and explain: Dexterity - makes all melee/ranged attacks and spells faster to perform/cast, better reflex saves. So this pretty much speeds up your character, so he can attack and cast spells faster in combat? Perception - makes your melee/ranged attacks and spells more likely to interrupt, adds to accuracy, better reflex saves. Does the interrupt bonus from Perception also apply to spells, especially AoE spells? Is Perception's bonus to Accuracy actually significant for some classes, and worth putting a lot of points? Resolve - helps with concentration (anti-interruption), deflection and will saves. Since it guards against Interruption, this seems like an important stat for a character that will be attacked by enemies? Is this defense against Interruption important for characters that will rarely (if ever) be attacked by enemies? Most guides i have read about damage dealing (DPS) characters put little value into Perception's Accuracy bonus? I thought that the Accuracy bonus from Perception is amazing for ANY damage dealer (barb, wizard, druid, rogue, ranger, cipher)? Do all classes get the same benefit from attributes? Will my Wizard get as much benefit from +10 Constitution/Perception/Dexterity/Resolve as my Fighter, or my Ranger? Or do some classes get very poor increases from certain attributes, resulting in very low benefit from investing in those attributes? Thank you very much for helping me out
