I think the problem is that it fades after one spell. Ideally, the best time to use Surecast is when you're casting a long spell like Flare. But when do you get a situation where you HAVE to use it? I play BLM as a sub and I never really get a chance to use that spell. It's just sitting on my hot bar. If it did work like equanimity, then it would have more use. But it does not. Look at Apocatastisis. That spell was useless for a BLM but they changed how it goes. Now it's a pretty damn good spell for tanks. We'll see how it goes in Heavensward. BLMs are getting a new rotation so we can see how that pans out.
