Change Surecast into either:
Freecast (Longer CD: 120?) - Spell costs no MP
or
Allcast (Longer CD: 90?) - Single Target spell hits all targets in 5y radius.
Bam, every mage class just got a buff.
You're welcome.

Surecast is useful for what it is. The game just needs more reasons to use it, I can count on one hand when a caster even uses it in all of 2.0 - current content.
The problem I see with surecast is that its useful when taking hits... What's even more useful is avoiding the hit altogether. What if in addition to its current effect, it provided a strong barrier effect while casting? Or something along those lines. Possibly in conjunction with an increase in cooldown/recast. Something to the effect of "This cast is happening, and im not going to be penalized for it"
Lol, how did this turn into a discussion about Surecast?
When is it ever not about Surecast?
The only issue I have with BLM AoE is that the rotation is sloppy and doesn't flow very well. The old 2.0 F3 > F2 > Flare rotation is probably still the best if I'm not mistaken; but it's mega choppy, doesn't synergise with Enochian and is not very Ley Lines friendly. I'm fine with getting the silver medal for AoE behind SMN however that doesn't mean that our rotation can't be made smoother.
Also I'm kind of bummed that there are no ethers in 3.0 powerful enough to use as a poor man's Convert :p
I think we should just get Distress Flare as a skill at this point.
