WM isnt comparable to enochian because it doesnt have a duration. it doesnt expire when you move
By definition a cast is a cast, we don't have different words for casts because whether it's 1.5 or 88 seconds, you're casting for that period of time. The fact BRD has lower cast times means we're casting many more times during a fight than BLM, doesn't sound right to me.

It's comparable in the sense that if moving is involved we're probably not using it, the abilities don't need to be a 1:1 clone for them to be alike. When you're not in the ability you lose spells, when we're not in the ability we lose abilities and weapon skills. You plan the usage depending on the fight. Surely you don't just pop enochian every chance you get no matter the circumstance. Lastly WM does have a lockout, it's just 15s rather than 50.
