    Are you talking about BLM? Cause I'm pretty sure it's even more of a DPS loss to stop your Fire 1 cast to use that Fire 3 proc. Just keep on casting that Fire 1 and use Fire 3 after.

    And yes, BLM is the biggest isue. It isn't just Fire 3 proc, it is also thundercloud proc. And that is exactly my point. I'd lose DPS if I had to stop the cast (I don't stop the cast). In addition, with the thundercloud proc, I can't just stop it. Since I usually use thunder on smaller adds to just add a bit of damage on them and increase my proc chances since usually thunder 3 is a waste of time on them. And it is a complete waste of a proc to use thunder on the proc over thunder 3 since it drops my DPS if I use thundercloud to cast thunder instead of thunder 3.

    Essentially this is usually what happens. I use start casting and then I go to use thunder just to have it on something, right before the cast finishes, thundercloud procs and then I cast proc bonus'ed thunder with no ability to change to thunder 3.

    As for interrupting, funny thing is usually when I do want to interrupt (like I realize my MP is off for the double flare due to an unexpected mage's ballad or casting Medica 2 and then having the debuffed/sac player walk into your casting area), trying to cancel my spell fails, lol. I mean, I've tried to cancel a cast early on before by moving. Spell didn't interrupt. This isn't the most common thing, but it does happen from time to time.

    The healer of love and justice! (Or the mad/insane/evil/berserk healer depending on who you talk to).
    I've played healers for so long that I can heal in my sleep literally (People have seen me do it).
    I like to do a bit of everything, but my preference is healing+support (until /that/ happens). FF14 title: Macro Queen
