How about reducing swiftcasts cooldown by 50%

Never, you never take off WM. As much as I hate WM you lose two of the most important skills the class has added.

My mistake then.

I'm somewhat new to MCH and BRD, but have been advised by a few people that if I'm finding I'm having to interrupt casts constantly, that it's better to just drop WM/GB.

I'm mostly playing MCH and so far can see why dropping GB may be beneficial in some situations for that at least.

I also main BLM now and can say for sure that leaving out Fire IV has been better than trying to DPS with it in some situations.

BRD may be different though, if its DPS is just so god awful without WM that it's just worth squeaking out casts with it.

There 100% are distinct times to take off your GB as a MCH. Not sure about about BRD, but MCH can save some lost damage in a moving part if Rapid Fire, Slug and Clean are on CD or not procced, or if literally everything is on CD the auto attacks + 1-2-3 outweighs GB 1-2-3.

I'm fine with the current cooldown. Due to alternating use of Swiftcast and Lightspeed on AST, I'm already doing 360s as a healer unless people are topped off and I can DPS. To lesser extents, I'm able to do the same on WHM and SCH. I can also do 360s on SMN until Dreadwyrm trance...making BLM the only class where Swiftcast is "too long CD".

When they remove the cast time for BRD and MCH, I may actually support this idea though...til then, it makes no sense why an archer and a gunner has less mobility than 4 caster classes.

Edit:I'll be kind enough to add, "turning off minuet" doesn't count since this is something that subtracts a significant amount of dps from our expected dps output, whereas no stance switching is necessary for AST, SMN, WHM, SCH to dance around the boss room while performing their primary function (when not DPSing with cleric [healers]).
