    Uh, having Dualcast reduce the cast time of Verraise wouldn't exactly be a nerf to Verraise since it would still consistently have a cast-time below the GCD. In fact, since Dualcast presently works by doing a check if the last spell was instant or not (partly to mitigate the effects of chaining Swiftcast I imagine), the fact that Verraise would still have a cast time would actually allow it to proc multiple Dualcast in a row, which could be seen as sidegrade at worst or even a small buff.

    With a cast time reduction of 6 seconds and Verraises's base cast time of 10s, Verraise would have a total cast time of 4s. It'd still proc Dualcast and RDM would be better at rezzing without Swiftcast than SMN or the healers, but it wouldn't be "good" at it. It'd mitigate the loss of on-demand rezzing ever so slightly, but it would decisively be a nerf compared to current Dualcast Rez

    Huh. TIL Verraise's cast time is innately 2 sec longer than other rezzes.
