Cannot cast spells while moving.

[Asiaine]

Hello,

I just wanted to point out a few things that maybe not everyone knows.

When running, you can hit 'facetarget' to immediately come to a stop and turn towards the enemy. This will ensure that if you cast immediately after hitting 'facetarget' you wll not be considered to be moving. You can bind this to a key. For me, when I run towards enemy, I immediately hit 'h' when in range and then cast right away. No problems with 'moving' while casting.

We have two spells that are instant (for those who do not like to stand still when casting):
Thundara, and Blizzara.

I often run towards an enemy (with auto-run!) and hit thundara or blizzara as I go by the enemy and this will hit them (and it hurts!). No need to stop, just carry on. Or hit 'facetarget' and continue fighting.

Also, as a THM we are not restricted to Thunder as non-AOE spells we also have:
Blizzard (Ice Based)
Stone (Earth Based -- CNJ)
Aero (Wind Based -- CNJ)

If we switch to BLM we are still not restricted to Thunder as non-AOE spells, we also have:
Blizzard (Ice Based)
Freeze (Ice Based)

Therefore if you need a varied elemental wheel please consider THM. If you only need two non-AOE, then please consider BLM with Lightning & Ice.

It is also perhaps worth to note that we are only level 50. Additional spells will be unveiled over time, and it may not have been the intent to give everything to us by level 50.

True, but not on gamepad. And no, "well, use keyboard" doesn't count. Facetarget is just a hack to work around the crappy engine, you shouldn't have to do this.
