Spellcasting in PvP

[Dimitrii]

There's a difference between being uninterrupted by attacks and having a chance not to be interrupted by attacks.

Right now, everything that can interrupt a spell cast, does. Every BLM spell that causes big boy damage takes at least a full GCD to cast.

In order to have firestarter or thundercloud, you have to first land fire or thunder.

This is true but the point of my post is that the only reason your firestarter procs have not been nerfed is because of the fact that you are not able to free cast to your hearts content. As I said before 40% activation rate is insanely high for such a potent attack so any increase in your ability to sustain constant casting will inevitably be met with a nerf of this mechanic in some capacity.

You're comparing a job who's bulk of damage accumulates over time and across multiple targets to one who can and will kill you in as few as 3 gcd's should they be lucky with their procs. Comparing one job who's debuffs can be removed, who's stacks can be removed, and who's strongest pet ability runs on a 5 min cooldown to one who would sustain potent burst dmg given the ability to free cast with absolutely no way to hinder or mitigate said incoming dmg (short of focalization/skewer which would affect both jobs anyway) lol. If your gonna give me such an asinine comparison then there really is no reason to even respond to this post cause you have no idea as to how lethal blm is unmolested. Not trying to belittle smn as they are undoubtedly kings in accumulating dmg long term but to compare their ability to deal and sustain burst dmg to that of blm is utterly ridiculous. You should probably take your own advice and actually play the job first before commenting.
