Hello fellow BLM / Casters -
I had a question regarding the use of Surecast before the end Enochian,
Sometimes my Fire IV or Blizzard 4 will get Interrupted due to maybe a half a millisecond of my timing of Enochian being up or not. If I use Surecast before casting a spell that could possibly be interrupted by the end of Enochian, will that ensure it casts successfully?
Sorry if this has been asked before.

Nope, it won't stop it from getting interrupted. Sorry.

What's actually happening is the loss of Enochian makes the ability unusable--so it's not interrupted so much as an ability you don't have access to, and so the game prevents you from using it (if I'm understanding the OP correctly).Quote:

I guess I read it wrong, I thought he was refering to the boss ability interrupting.. not enochain falling off.
No, in that case! -

Surecast prevents you from being interrupted by:
- Taking damage
It doesn't prevent interruption from:- Being stunned
- Being silenced
- Being paralyzed
- The target leaving range or going behind you
- The target dying or jumping before you finish your spell
- Not having enough MP to cast due to UI/AF wearing off mid-cast
- Enochain wearing off
- Just about anything else you can think of

lol, are people still really asking this dumb question? the issue with your cast getting "interrupted" when enochian falls off mid cast is just bad programming, it doesn't actually relate to any gameplay mechanics as aforementioned.

Sure-cast actually was suppose to allow u to move for a few sec while casting. That however was not the case and the spell still does not function correctly.

But that feeling when your Tier 4 is half a second off and enochain falls off. -

A) Ingame help text, which uses "interrupt" far too generous (see Stoutertaru's post), as a result you wouldn't know what "interrupt" Surecast really refers to.
B) Community in game and forums, which is seemingly more interested in throwing sticks and stones at fellow players instead of providing help.
Not too loud please, someone at SE might hear you and decide to make it useful again, further increasing BLM button bloat.Quote:
