Rphys: why slow walk casts (ala pvp) aren't a solution

[mallleable]

I mean, I think they’d be kinda cool in PvE. But would they actually work? All signs point to a hard no lol

What signs? The only reasons I can see that could prevent them being added to PVE is a lack of vision/imagination or an unwillingness to make them work. They aren't like the one shot K.O. moves or the other broken mechanics that are present in PVP, they are just simply a new type of action mechanic.

PVP walking wouldn't work in PVE because of one key factor; interrupting cast time. As some who plays caster this is one key feature that is need in PvE content. If you are targeted by mechanic and stuck in a walking animation, you're going to get hit were as Caster stop casting and can run out of the way.

RPhy is in a tough spot because they lost their purpose. The main job was to restore TP/MP and buff. SB killed that concept and they never fixed the problem. Everyone job buffs based on a skill now and RPhy got the short end of the stick with movement tax.

This is how you would do it:

Tap button: Deals X potency, functions as standard weaponskill.
Press button and hold: Deals X + kt potency, where k is a multiplier and t is the charge time. If the button is released early, the action is released at that potency. When maximum charge is reached, the effect is released automatically and the GCD is activated.

You can take this design approach with both walking and standing casts.
