Caster question

[LunaFaye]

I just want a good caster but not one that will take hours to learn.

so...Summoner ?

You should know better SMN is not a class you can just learn within 3 minutes and the micro managing of the pets are tedious. However if you're planning to put some time and effort into that, somewhere down the road, than yes SMN would be a class you should take a look at, till then try BLM. BLM got changed with the introduction of HW and is now better at single targets compared to smn (better at aoe), but it's not as difficult to play

I went with BLM and I really really like it. I just hope that the casting gets a bit faster as I lvl this guy, it seems to take forever to cast anything but he is POWERFUL!!

Sadly SE made this game into one of tediously long cast times and even more tediously long GCD.

While you can pile on '+Spell Speed' it'll always be a snooze-fest when it come to casters.
