Surecast Enhancements, Please!

So, in both of those situations, why wouldn't you just use swiftcast instead?

Also, what's this "we" you're talking about? Because the only instant cast spell black mages have is Scathe, and I think the only one white mages have is Fluid Aura, if that counts? It's a cooldown. Are you talking about Arcanists? Because they have Bio, Ruin II, and Miasma II as instant casts. I assume so, since your main class is shown as arcanist. I could also include Fester, though that has a 10 second cooldown itself and is summoner only.

That being said, "We" are not all arcanists.

Black mages can move with aetherial manipulation and you can move during you cast firestarter or thunder procs etc. Some mechanics you can bypass by using different shields. In the expansion you will get buff that will gain proc with 100% chance so black mages mobility will be even better. Whm can cast aero, benediction, fluid aura and regen while moving. In the expansion whm will get 50% max hp instant heal if i did not miss something. And btw i play all 4 caster jobs myself(whm/sch/smn/blm).

And the reason why i do not wanna use swiftcast on those situations? Because you can save cast time from flare or shadow flare or save it once you need actually move?

Procs are unreliable at best. Aetherial Manipulation is not castable during a skill and if it was it'd break the skill, as the movement isn't instant. Benediction, Regen, and Tetragrammophone aren't attack actions, which is what we were going over. Manaward and Manawall don't let you cast instantly. Sharpcast gives you, in your own loose terms, "one free swiftcast to choose from between Fire3 or Thunder3".

Also, calling black mage mobility better for a chance of one free proc on a cooldown while ignoring ley lines entirely is kind of hilarious.
