Surecast - Allow Move-&-Casting

[Khyra]

You already have this spell it's called swiftcast.

By that logic there's no reason for Surecast to exist at all (OK, arguably true heh) since Swiftcast does everything Surecast can do today + makes spells faster. (I don't think there's any way you can interrupt a spell done via Swiftcast, is there?)
Surecast is a subset of swiftcast, it would still be so if it made you immune to movement interruption, just a little less weak.
Why have it? Because swiftcast isn't always up, I guess.

No. because first we need to stop all these PVP hot-heads from making open world pvp threads.

K... it's fine you disagree with open-world PVP but don't enter other threads derailing/trolling them to voice that opinion.

One of the biggest unbalanced things in PVP I've seen is moving and casting at the same time and people canceling casts if they move past your field of view (While enemies via PVE no longer do this.)

It's not meant to always be up because BLM is turret DPS and you're not meant to be mobile, it would remove all the difficulty in playing the job if it gave you any more chances to move than it already does with SC and procs.

I am against killing the fun in playing BLM for people who don't learn how to manage movement.

Can anyone here against this idea post one reason why *any* BLM would use Surecast, outside of PvP.

I'm definitely for this idea for FL. Melee have enough stuns/gap closers for the balance to already be there. They even have Purify to break sleeps/roots, which if you're a summoner and they Purify the root you're basically SOL anyway. So to me this seems more than welcomed, even if they had to include the half damage like Swiftcast.

Er, adding it to Surecast wouldn't mean it is "always up". Surecast has a 30s recast time. So once every 30s you would be able to move while casting. It would give Surecast a reason to exist, right now its basically worthless.

(Would make it a useful cross-class for SMN as well)
