I manage a thread that's based entirely on questions about the job system. It's been around for months and had multiple dev responses. I think I know what I'm talking about when it comes to jobs, what's been answered, and what we don't yet know.

Speaking of questions, way to avoid mine lol. Can't even give a straight answer yourself.

They posted a video that gave information about spell cancelling. Yoshi P also posted 2 walls of text to explain in further detail the mechanics behind the movement-based spell cancelling and the /facetarget feature. That video was very accurate in that regard.

This very same video, that the OP is basing almost everything he says on, had no intention of accurately displaying the damage capabilities of BLM. Anything quantitative in that video is subject to change. Furthermore, every video SE has released pior to a patch that shows content has had inaccurate numbers when it comes to damage done/taken. This has been repeatedly mentioned by people posting in this thread, and is more than enough to discount any credibility the damage values of the spellcasting video have. Sleep wasn't even running on a cooldown. It's very clearly being played in a sort of dev mode.

In conclusion, the spellcasting video was very accurate when it came to displaying spellcasting changes. As a bonus, we got to see he animation for Burst, as well as the new icon on the action bar that indicates if we are moving or not. Anything beyond that is subject to change and was irrelevant for the purpose of that video therefore did not need to be accurate.

SE is only trolling you with false representations if they claim they are showing you one thing, but then show it inaccurately. They did not claim that video showed the offensive abilities of BLM.
