People were bad at BRD before WM existed, so that's not an excuse. And besides, if you read my earlier post (#61), BRD would be even LAZIER then its 2.x version if cast times were removed due to auto-attacks now working without needing to face the enemy. And the type of Cast times that BRD get are the best kind there is. You get to use buffs AND be able to move for a short bit without losing out on DPS.

If you don't want your Cast time that much then let the Black Mages have it. We'd kill for movement without losing out on damage.
