Surecast & Enochian question

[melisande]

Hello fellow BLM / Casters -
I had a question regarding the use of Surecast before the end Enochian,
Sometimes my Fire IV or Blizzard 4 will get Interrupted due to maybe a half a millisecond of my timing of Enochian being up or not. If I use Surecast before casting a spell that could possibly be interrupted by the end of Enochian, will that ensure it casts successfully?
Sorry if this has been asked before.

Nope, it won't stop it from getting interrupted. Sorry.

Surecast... ensures your cast won't get interrupted. So yes?

Surecast... ensures your cast won't get interrupted. So yes?

Enochian spells ... require Enochian to not get interrupted. So no?

It's not technically an interruption in this case. What's actually happening is the loss of Enochian makes the ability unusable--so it's not interrupted so much as an ability you don't have access to, and so the game prevents you from using it (if I'm understanding the OP correctly).

I guess I read it wrong, I thought he was refering to the boss ability interrupting.. not enochain falling off.

No, in that case!

Surecast prevents you from being interrupted by:

1. Taking damage

That is all.


It doesn't prevent interruption from:

1. Being stunned
2. Being silenced
3. Being paralyzed
4. The target leaving range or going behind you
5. The target dying or jumping before you finish your spell
6. Not having enough MP to cast due to UI/AF wearing off mid-cast
7. Enochain wearing off
8. Just about anything else you can think of

9. Moving midcast.

Which is why Surecast is MOSTLY useless. I say mostly because it can help for those times when you're expecting a party-wide attack that may interrupt your spell...which isn't going to happen that often.

lol, are people still really asking this dumb question? the issue with your cast getting "interrupted" when enochian falls off mid cast is just bad programming, it doesn't actually relate to any gameplay mechanics as aforementioned.
