Where are you getting the 45 second cast time from?
Where are you getting the 45 second cast time from?
When you cast the spell it takes 10 seconds to cast. When you cast it, a buff will appear on you showing 45 seconds. So when counter gets down to zero it may go, or you wasted 100 mp cause it doesn't go off sometimes. So the cast time ranges to about 45 seconds.
What I've noticed it takes 15 seconds or so for the spell to actually go off, at which point the status will go away. Since you're effectively putting down a proximity mine I believe the spell stays there if you stay in the immediate area and something wanders into the AOE. I played around with it a little recently and it seemed to work that way.
Apparently one of the other language's patch notes say they are insta-cast instead of single target.Oh it's going to have an instant cast now? That's fine with me. I'm assuming they will possibly be more potent now with the battle changes as well. The new shared increased recast is probably to balance this.

If it's like a proximity mine, itll really suck on Ifrit to use since he jumps around a lot.
Once I got the spells I was going wild with them and forgetting they cost a lot of MP >.>
I've played around with them on occasion since while helping buddies with R40 leves, so using them on ~Level 52-54 enemies.
Maybe the Single target thing means that now instead of the "mine" being tethered to one spot the spell will just be delayed before hitting the enemy like a regular nuke, which would make them a LOT better.
