Surecast - Allow Move-&-Casting

[MeeDeggiThePunisher]

What's surecast?

[Malevicton]

Why are people so convinced that surecast should be useful? Also, am I taking crazy pills or has this exact idea been posted like a million times?

Can surecast cast through paralysis. If can't it should be.

Because the game's design-philosophy is every ability in the game should be useful; no, it probably has... because it's a great idea that needs implementing!

Idk! But you're right, it should!!

This would be wonderful.

Surecast is so... underwhelming.

This would allow a BLM to cast while dodging an AoE. Sure it can only be done for one spell every 30 seconds, but that's generally all you need, and it would allow Swiftcast to be saved for Fire3/Ice3/Flare.

Don't know about PvP since I don't do it, but this would be really helpful in PvE.

WOW did this with warlocks, you have no idea how insanely Overpowered it is, it was one of the elements that allowed warlocks to be THE top DPS class, like as a whole the entire of MOP, its now removed as a perma ability and just used as an on demand CD, this is PVE, and nothing should be this powerful, and this is coming from a warlock main in WOW. Balance is important, dont break it, it is actually fun, you just need to know how to handle things better.

^if they have to up the cooldown (30>45?) and/or reduce the duration some (10>8?) so be it.

doing this would render scathe obsolete. The instance in which you have to interrupt a cast to move in the game is fairly low with proper planning at least. I bring this up because of so many people arguing that blm has a useless ability, anyway uses :

Shiva during circle aoes that drop ice on you, if you use surecast those icicles will not interupt your cast

Twintania fireballs will not interrupt a cast during Surecast

T6 Savage when the bees is on you + you are tethered with vines, surecasting here will enable a cast.

knowing that you are about to take damage in excess of 1k that is also physical like autos also warrants a surecast

Not sure how this ability is useless.

Either way I don't think it needs to be changed, blms do fine with dps and are tuned well atm, this could change with upcoming drg buffs however. Anyway, having near 100% uptime on spells would break it (and trust me folks, blms who are really good would achieve near 100% uptime if not 100% uptime if we had 7-10 seconds of unbridled casting available to us on a 90 sec cd or if they leave the cd as is less than that.)

No I do not want one of the things that is skill based to be taken away from my job.
