How about reducing swiftcasts cooldown by 50%

[StouterTaru]

I'm BLM main and think SC cooldown is really fine... also our spell speed is much higher meanwhile, once you're used to mechanics BLM is really strong and dont need swiftcast at all.

Even after you have mechanics down, it can still be the difference between casting F4 or B3 with 4k MP left, between using that thundercloud proc or just letting it wear off, or casting Thunder after B3 or going straight into B4.

While you may not need it once you have the movement down, using it properly can increase your dps.

Well that is part of my point, Swiftcast for BLM also has very little usefulness atm. You can use it for saving an enochain, movement, or double flare.

There isn't any huge DPS gain from shortening the CD for swiftcast. I don't know why people are acting like it would be adding huge dps to blm when it wouldn't.


45 seconds instead that would be fine.


I am saying, that, if they want to make content where you have to move around more, changing the swiftcast CD time is a way to make it so they can design dungeons with more movement.

It's also not going to make BLMs be able to run around all over.
People love to exaggerate.

Swiftcast has very little use on blm? So if it has such limited use why would you want 45s instead of 60??
btw Swiftcast is more then useful enough on blm

Swiftcast's CD is fine. A minute is not that long for an instant cast spell of your choice, whether it be Flare or Blizzard IV. Scathe is a tool if movement is heavy, just like Sharpcast and Aetherial Manipulation.

I'd ask for converts cooldown to be reduced if I were to ask for anything.

Ok.. I'll be serious with you. You have to understand the concept of this ability. How it's used and when, for what reasons. I'll answer you straight: Developers don't intent to change Swiftcast CD regardless of what we say. Because it's not meant to be used for your rotation or as a tool to move around freely. However, you can choose it to use that way. We are honestly lucky that this ability doesn't have 120 sec CD instead of 60. Because it's just not the ability for people to abuse, but to rely on. Believe me.. if (when) blm movements get intense in later game, developers would simply add more spell speed on gear. That's just the way it's. So you are pretty much wasting your time..

I think the cooldown is pretty minimal as it is for giving instant cast, and usally the other healer will have it up when you don't. I'm grateful they let healers have it at all!
