If you are a WHM without Swiftcast, you are holding back your team at endgame

I think it makes sense to get to level 50 before getting Swiftcast. However, I agree with the OP that you should have it for endgame stuff. I won't expect healers doing dungeons like WP to have Swiftcast but for AK and beyond, there's certainly no excuse.

All the unavoidable AOE damages has intervals and fixed patterns. Thus, you can just predict it and pre-cast heals, use damage mitigation skills, or ready emergency heals like Lustrate and Benediction for key members.

If Swiftcast is required, something already went wrong. Also, wasting Swiftcast on Raise or Ressurection is a complete waste since revival debuff is already affecting the raised person. Especially on hard fights, it is better to restart.

Good thing nothing ever goes wrong ever right? You can recover from deaths even on EX primals, I've seen it done but with that attitude you have eliminated any chance of it, and potentially been the real cause of a wipe. It's a quitter attitude and it isn't a good attitude to have. If there is something you could of done then by the love of god do it and be a better person than the dead people who aren't doing their job.

Maybe something did go wrong but sometimes things do and swiftcast can mean the difference between a recovery and a restart.

It has other uses besides an "instant Resurrection." It helps when you need to instantly cast Stoneskin, Holy, Medica II, Protect, etc...during long battles, I found it's a must. I certainly don't want to be DPS'ing that primal by myself ><
