Surecast - Allow Move-&-Casting

[Garlyle]

They removed mobile casting for PvP purposes (yes this is the exact reason.) So..it's not happening outside of swiftcast.

I just want to note: Many abilities have changed functionality in PvP. If allowing a single move-and-cast in PvP is too much, they could disable that aspect in PvP.

Anyway I'm hella in favour of this. As is the only time I ever use it as a WHM is if it's one of the rare unavoidable AoEs I need to be healing through that also, rarely, would interrupt my cast (Most "Large Unavoidable Raid Damage" skills seem coded not to interrupt, or maybe I'm just lucky?)

Well this isn't the thread for that, so why is it being brought up here? That's just bad forum manners.

I agree, however its also an open forum. There is a group of users on this forum that specifically want vanilla 1.0 not 1.x mechanics brought back and will use any relevant thread to voice it instead of making their own.

That's all well and good and you're right it wouldn't take long, but the moving animation using scathe is gross. Getting the timings and proper animation sequences to play takes a bit more time. I don't enjoy sliding around in a wide spread stance when casting scathe.

All I'm saying is it's not a priority for them (and who knows, maybe it is)

I do like this idea of moving while casting for like 1 time if of course it had a trade off. I think at the top of our heads we can't determine the correct trade off and would have to see how it would effect players to see if the trade off is worth it and bearing in made we can give it a few trade offs.

1. More MP cost,
2. Longer Cast time
3. Less damage
4. None of the above but a long CD time.

[BigPapaSmurf]

A slightly longer CD in exchange for this could be okay.

Though I think it would be fine to add on its own without any other nerfing.

It's awesome in PvP, you get your spell off every time unless one of the following happen:
-target moves out of frontal cone/range
-you move
-you get slept
-you get knocked back
-you get stunned
-you take any kind of damage at all
-someone targets you
-someone thinks about targeting you
-a cow in Wyoming farts

you forgot silence too!
how could you forget the one thing that makes bard annoying in pvp


Yes I like the idea, cause like some people have said, for a blm in pve its basically useless, its more of a use for WHM than the class that actually learns it by leveling up.

Maybe it should be a trait though? I think its a tiny bit op for a whm to be able to do the same thing

I approve this.

You make a great point.

[Sandoria]

I really want this. As of now, I only use Surecast in pvp or in those rare instances I'm paralyzed and remember it's there. It'd be a staple of my spells if I could throw a heal out while running out of stuff.

[Toodles]

A lot of boss attacks or mechanics outright don't need Surecast or ignore it anyway... it's pretty sad.
