Swiftcast

[Uriel_Sinclair146]

I use swift cast for Medica II during primal fights as a quick emergency recover for raising and WP speed runs every once in awhile if a tank takes a huge spike of damage in wp or ak i will use swift cast to hit them quickly but its rare that happens

Swiftcast Limit Break, yes thats possible.

According to SE swift cast LB isnt possible

Well I'm doing it all the time.

And my entire point is you're doing it wrong. Nobody is talking about using swiftcast on medica 2 to heal 1 or 2 dps. We're talking about raid-wide unavoidable aoe and using swiftcast on medica 2 so it only takes up 1 GCD.

Lol neither was I. No one should swiftcast a medica for 2 people, don't be silly.
Whole party needs healing, but in no immediate danger, I cast a normal Medica 2, but again, I'm not doing that if it's an 'iffy' situation and I don't have the backup of knowing I can pull of a swiftcasted Cure 2 on the tank if I have to.
Whole party needs healing right now (probably because I delayed healing them while I was on the tank), of course I'm going to swiftcast Medica 2, and I still have benediction for the tank.

Let's just agree to disagree

There's nothing to disagree about. You're simply doing it wrong by wasting Swiftcast on Cure 2. Period.

My favorite is probably in WP mass pull speed runs.

(Cleric Stance) Holy -> Swiftcast -> Holy -> Drop CS during GCD if necessary to resume heals. It's impressive burst aoe.

Sometimes I will swiftcast a stoneskin when I know a big hit is coming (Everybody's Grudge, MB, etc) so I can push healing or dps a little longer beforehand.

I've done it a couple times with medica, for instance if Titan tumults immediately before one of his unavoidable aoes.

I can't say I've ever seen a situation where a swiftcast cure is ever necessary. Unless you count trolling FC tanks on speed runs for the lols

[kayuwoody]

Yeah I love it in WP too hehhe.
Necessary? Not often. It's basically a good and flexible tool to use, and one use is similar to a mini benediction.
I'll give you an example situation: A 5.5k hp tank's down only 1.5 k hp (so at 4k currently), and you know boss will be doing a 3-4k hit in 2 seconds which may kill him if an unlucky auto attack also lands. You're halfway on GCD from healing party. You can't complete a Cure 2 cast in time, so what do you do? Waste benediction, swiftcast a Cure 2 or just cast your cure and pray? I know which one I'd pick

Are you sure? Tried it a few times and never worked for me.
