So...Spontaneity...

...Idk you guys might be over exaggerating. I think the reason SE made it a 10 minute timer was because you can give it to other people in your party... and it would kindof chipin your 2hr if you had instant cast every 3 minutes. I don't think SE wants you guys to be able to cast instantly very often (they think that's what fast cast is for).

The way I see it it's just a skill to help you on long recast spells like raise or help other mages cast instantly... then again I don't play rdm so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Forgive me if this is obvious, but has anyone tested if this can indeed be used on other party members, and also if it eliminates recast as well as casting time?

If the black mage ja can be casted on other party members Im sure this can be as well. Just in case I'll go test it out now for you.

Perhaps, but what would it break? If anything it would mostly be used to help our buff cycle that much further. BLMs already have Elemental Celerity to deal with their long cast times, plus they can just Alternate between Thunder, Fire and Blizzard nukes if they're really that hard-pressed to pile on one nuke after another. Not to mention, there would be some communication issues as is putting on Spontanteity on a party member for a spell you don't know is about to be cast. Depending on the spell in question, it could be good or bad. "wtf why didn't you do Spontaniety on me for my important spells!?!? Now my very minor spell recast is 0," or some other situation where a spell being used with Spontaniety could be considered wasted.

And if we needed instant cast on the fly, that's what Chainspell is there for, yeah? I wouldn't have any qualms making the recast set to 2-3 minutes for the sole fact it would help the RDM itself out for what it needs to do to free up more casting/moving time.
