    Surecast, what the heck

    Guys, I hate Surecast.
    It says "the next cast will not be interrupted", I tried it, I got hit by Ifrit HM and got interrupted, I thought "well, my character was thrown away by the hit, I can understand that", then I tried in a bad situation in Amdapor Keep and got interrupted by a simple attack from a trash mob (a Dullahan before the Demon Wall), without getting any Stun or else.
    Well, what the heck? What is that for? Every single time I used "Sure"cast I got interrupted, never finished a cast while under the effect of Surecast.
    Is there an explanation or is it a bug?

    Ive had times where it seemingly works, and times when it does nothing and I get interrupted (not from LoS issues) anyways.

    Don't know why they didn't just make it a cast while moving cooldown.

    I find it extremely situational, but I tend to use it on things like when Ifrit does his ultimate move @ 50% after nails, the explosion will interrupt a cast making it hard to pre-cast medica II so I use surecast first.....works like a charm every time. I haven't really used it outside of this context though.

    I view this more as a future PvP ability than anything, at least from a DPS standpoint. The only time I can recall using Surecast on my BLM was to pair it up with a Physick cast as Ifrit was using his super attack.

    only time I remember using surecast to efficiently avoid losing dps is garuda fight, when she does her random target wind attack thingy that interrupts casts. (generally at the start of the fight)

    I would like to be able to move and cast while Surecast is in effect.

    Just one spell every 30s doesn't seems game breaking IMHO. Even with the 15%proc no recast for THM

    I hate it, I removed it from the Hotbar and looking forward to Swiftcast, at least (I'm lv23 as THM).
    It's even more useless than Cure III, and Cure III is REALLY USELESS.

    Stand in melee and she usually won't hit ya with it =D

    Of course you get hit by her AoE, but that is healable and doesn't interrupt you, oddly enough.
