If you have a BLM that has to move 15 yalms, for a mechanic going off in 3.0 sec, you aren't getting there with slidecasting!
You neglected the part of your quote where you said: "Spells with a cast time longer than the GCD don't typically allow this" and proceeded to list off the very spells I demonstrated do allow for slide casting. The whole point of my response to you is the claim Black Mage and Red Mage can't slidecast with those specific spells when they absolutely can. You've now moved the goalpost to try and argue that isn't actual slidecasting and what you actually meant was what healers do with their nuke. Both are examples of slide casting.

As for this whole "omg, I'm being attacked!!!!" nonsense. I likely wouldn't have even responded had you not so smugly typed what I quoted; that "Maybe don't call people out on things they can school you on."

Maybe don't throw stones in that glass house of yours.
