Moving will be made to interrupt spellcasting at a point in time...

[Estellios]

The skill limits were for this class revamp and obviously won't be a factor for the entirety of the game, especially when the level cap gets raised and we learn more.

It's a large enough change that they want to implement it ASAP so people can get used to it but they won't if they can't get it to work well with the current system. It balances out mages in more than just PVP settings and believe it or not there is an audience for PVP and if implemented well enough it could draw in new players, and that's always an improvement.

ok then adjust the casting abilities of the mages at the next level cap raise.

u talkin in plural. "mages". THM is concerned when it comes to Yoshi's plans (damage, high risk). not CNJ.
and it's not like THM has to be nerfed because it's the current overpowered super-class. (enmity, MP cost)

Seriously, Yoshi-P said right in his post that mages would be getting more insta-cast and CC spells.

I understand we should be getting new abilities in 2.0 but the patch note specifically said "* Moving will be made to interrupt spellcasting at a point in time between patch 1.20 and 1.21." so that explanation doesn't really help us in the meantime unless we are getting some of those spells before 2.0.

You gotta be kidding me. I like movement, but I don't think casting while moving should happen. Movement doesn't always mean you are doing something with magic DUH.

No, I am not.

If you want dynamic combat, you should be able to move and cast at the same time. Having to stop, cast, hold spot until spell has been cast is not dynamic, nor produces dynamic content. It produces non-dynamic content in which the AI run through cycles that promotes non-dynamic game play, which unfortunately, the ability to run and cast is being sacrifice for the sake of PVP "balance" ultimately. Seriously, if I'm not being pushed to cure\nuke while running out of random 'eruptions' in future fights, while taking into consideration of the distance between my target, I would not consider the content as dynamic as it could of been.

This forum will only get worse with class/job balancing topics once PVP is implemented. Why? One reason is that there will be that few 'x class/job' that will post to high heavens, constantly creating new topics, just to be heard, because they cannot beat 'x class/job,' and multiple other classes will have to suffer each update with job/class change adjustment in both PVE and PVP environment while SE tries to cater to both crowds.

While I do not really want spellcasting to be interrupted by moving, I wouldn't mind if a few powerful spells required channeling, or all spells get a bonus if you are still or like I mentioned before increased cast time and/or reduced potency while moving.

that's what i'm talking about.
constructive criticism.
this thread is about finding compromises. about finding options.
and spellcasting interrupted by moving is NOT an option.

I agree that having that having to stop moving to cast high tier spells wouldn't be as bad but having to stop for even low tier spells like fire, thunder, cure is just dumb and like others have said just ruins dynamic fights, hell they could add where it slows down speed while casting but stationary mage isn't fun when everyone else is moving around during a fight.

They need to add search dev feature on threads...
I read this one before myself but was hoping there would be official translation since it's bit long and someone just asked me again and not sure if it was already translated or not...

Any reps know if anyone translated this YoshiP post regarding this same topic as this thread? http://goo.gl/gmYlj
