No I do not want one of the things that is skill based to be taken away from my job.
Skill based = standing in one place and moving occasionally? You have a really bizarre sense of the word, but I digress. What I was really baffled about was how it's rendering Scathe obsolete?

So... an ability which does NOTHING to cast times renders a spell, which is ALWAYS instant-cast obsolete because...? Err... how? I mean, does Swiftcast render Scathe obsolete? No one's stopping you from using Swiftcast as a Scathe 'replacement... I mean, aside from the recast but surely you can't mean that because both of these abilities have a recast. That would just be a stupid reason, and you don't strike me as stupid.

Surecast is basically junk at the moment. It does practically nothing to guarantee an attack fires off, and, yes, I've even been interrupted while using it and NOT moving. It can still be stunned, paralyzed, slept and so forth, making even its PvP usage a bit of a stretch. It's easily my least used move of ALL time, because if I need to cast without interruption it's usually better to try and sneak out a spell in between attacks than to waste the time using this ability.

I support any change which takes an otherwise entirely worthless skill and makes it useable.
