BLM, Extreme Primals, and Surecast "buff" request

[NyneAlexander]

Something that may be ridiculously obvious, yet possibly worth mentioning, is that you should try to use Sprint as much as possible as a BLM in AOE-dodge-intensive fights. I started using Sprint everytime Titan HM uses stomp after heart, and it's ridiculously easy to escape plumes while doing so. Also, the faster you can run, the faster you can start casting again.

Yea I use sprint for titan ex, probably more than i use swiftcast. Every plumes, except double plumes because I'll sometimes save it for row bombs.

But, regardless of sprint and useless surecast, I'd just really like to float. How cool would it be to see WoTL coming and just start floating in the air like a FF1 blackmage avoiding quake.

This is pretty much what I was hoping to see in this thread.

When I first started playing the game I actually thought surecast allowed us to cast while moving since every time I would move while casting it interrupted the spell. As the spell is right now, I have never used it and it's even on my hot bar, that says to me there is a problem with the spell or it's lack of common usage in situations.

I feel like sure cast should allow us to move and cast for 6 seconds, and have a chance to have the next surecast have no recast time. Reusable every 60 seconds or 75 seconds.

Also SE doesn't have to make a change to the spell in pvp - just tweak the pve version. They should be doing that anyways instead of trying to balance pvp and pve as one entity.

What about making it a toggle you turn on/off, which allows you to cast while walking but triple/double MP cost (depending if with trait or not) or reducing spells potency by 35%/25% (without and with trait).

Certainly the Surecast need an improvement but, I don't really agree it has to come "free" and this version would help healers too, at a cost.

You're doing 42% of party damage in an extreme primal fight? What kind of horrible baddies are you playing with? And at what point do you wipe, heart phase? Every time?

500 lmao, I have yet to see a Blm sustain 200 dps in this fight I'm sure it's possible just what my experience is showing.

In hindsight, I'm 100.01% sure he is either a troll or a moron.

Nah, I just know how to play my class. Baddies whining that a BLM needs improvements obviously do not know how to play their class. Roll Melee if you don't know how to effectively manage your instant procs and cooldowns so you can dps while on the go.

I barely scraped 200 dps in my titan ex win last night. I *did* screw up my rotation at one point but I can't see myself peaking any higher than 220dps for that fight in particular. Certainly not 500. I was full i90, stacking crit and det since you really have no need for acc stack anywhere but bahamut.

The i90 drg we were with was sitting at about 225 dps, while the i90 brds were at about 205 dps

I do want to pick your brain a bit about your rotation, because I feel like I'm doing what I can to maximize my damage given his mechanics, and have NO IDEA where I could pull an additional 300 dps from
