Does Swift Cast work on any skills?

[Kaurie]

I just did again on both my WHM and SMN, and Swiftcast was not consumed by instant spells when I tried:

WHM: Swiftcast -> (Checking the buff is up) -> Cast one instant healing skill -> Swiftcast Buff still up -> Cast a non-instant healing skill = Instant cast.

SMN: Swiftcast -> (Checking the buff is up) -> Cast Eye for an Eye (instant spell) on my Chocobo -> Swiftcast Buff still up -> Cast Shadow Flare (non instant) = Instant Cast

Perhaps they made the adjustment and did not post it in the patch notes. It has been awhile since I had the issue.

Out of curiosity, are you using abilities or spells. For example, Eye for an Eye is an ability, not a spell. An instant spell would be aero, ruin II, bio & regen. You can tell the difference, because abilities do not cost MP/TP, where spells cost MP and skills cost TP.

Swiftcast does not work on abilities at all, instant or not (however, all abilities are instant except limit break if I remember correctly).
