If it's an action with really short cast time like Esuna & Iaijutsu (Yes, SAMs also cast), then you just slide that 'Slidecast' portion toward the left together with the pink line. If it's an action that has longer cast time like Holy III, Flare, Despair, or (Ver)Raise, you just do the opposite.

So to answer your question? Yes, because the free movement window will be longer in shorter cast time actions, but your slidecast window does not change, no matter what action you're using so long it has progress bar. Heck you can even slidecast a quest interactive point by applying the same practice and still get your quest progress.

4) Like Sebazy have mentioned, any BLMs (or anything that uses progress bar, really) that performs meticulously at high end content will always abuse slidecasting when they can, so yes.

Will not answer 5th because it's not specifically the part I (and very likely tearegion too) was confused with your earlier posts. That's for you and Silver's to continue should they wish to.
