I have no idea how SE are going to handle it

So why not start with this ? skills wont behave the same in pvp + unique pvp skills + proper pvp armors and stats. Welcome in the club

Well it already has effected pve. What a lot of 2.0 players don't know is mages use to be move and cast. Which was changed solely on the belief that it was going to be over powered in pvp. So instead of a compromise like in eqoa having a Mage at least be able to walk and cast not run they just made it you can't move even worse if some one sprint and just gets behind you before you cast your spell is cancelled.

Wait, what? it was changed because a BLM and other casters being able to move while casting would be overpowered as fuck in PVE with the 2.0 mechanics, it had nothing to with PvP.

well considering that Melee are getting a buff in 2.1 to be on par with Blm i dont see why its a problem now if Blm could atleast walk and cast. and no Yoshi Specifically said it was for Pvp.

Melee are getting buffed because they can't keep up with ranged classes in many bosses due having to move in and out interrumping their DPS, could you imagine if the only drawback of a caster (being rooted while casting) was gone? their DPS would sky rocket because they wouldn't have to stop casting, ever. It also applies to healers, being able to heal and dodge AoEs at the same time would be very broken.

I haven't read Yoshi saying it was changed solely because PvP, if you provide a source I'll eat my hat and shut up :<

Search that for pvp and you'll see where he says it.

"In regards to PvP situations, being able to cast spells while moving disrupts the balance."

We had QQing about BRD before we even got pvp, so I expect the whine factor to be a whole new level here.

And it will be so very amusing.

That was one of many reasons and only a small part of his overall reasoning.
