Also, that video is ridiculous. If an AoE went down in the middle of any of those casts, you might as well be a turret, because you have to break cast to gtfo. My complaint isn't about moving when you can (that video is basically just a dis to the people who used to move just for the sake of moving, which I'm not a fan of anyway, I hated Flea-bouncing BRDs as much as the next guy), it's about moving when you need to. Bard used to be king of that, now we are not. MCH are better at it and Swiftcast can be used in a pinch to maintain BLM rotation. If I'm trying to IJ w/ 3s DoTs left and an AoE goes down under me: goodbye to 2 globals, 140 tp (resource management) and potency to boot, on top of the plain old potency lost from missing the global.
