    I can agree with the all way too long Cooldwon for the short duration,
    but as healer or BLM stainding in his leylines (that to me any time I use it seems like a "please fuck me" request to the whole enemies party) is an efficent way to land Fire IV on someone that is attacking you.
    If they buff his effect in my opinion it will become probably OP, I would rather see a shorter Cooldown.

    Instead I think it's time to remove the DMG buff on Retrogradation and Aura Blast and give some decent addictional effect to them (expecially Aura Blast)

    Do you know how annoying it is to try to burst down a BLM only to be denied, slept or whatever? They're just chillin I'm their ley lines like nothings the matter, taking kills like it's nobody's business.

    As a healer sure I can understand situations where it could be useful but how do you know that i's actually working? You pop it with the thought that it will help you but you never truly know it its actually saving your life/that of others by allowing you to cast. This is one of the reasons it annoys me that it doesn't make you immune to CC while using it so you know it actually allows for casting but even if you purely were attacked by raw damage anything outside a caster burst attacks doesn't really have a way to stop your casts currently. You pop it thinking "yeah, I think this is working" and that is not the sign of a good skill. As for blms usage even with leylines im not sure if we live in the same pvp world but I get cced to the ground so it doesn't do anything for me anyway, no ones not gonna cc you sitting in leylines.

    You know it is working because you cast even though you hear two fell cleaves hit you. *Buzzzzzz*. Every melee DPS has an ability that interrupts or combo that interrupts regardless if you crit or not. It isn't just caster burst.

    True to some degree but are you adding in CC in those rotations or just raw damage?

    Usually you use equa when you are on stun DR. Having 0 defense (or DR) against silence and knockback is stupid, I completely agree, but if you track your stun DR equa can be really useful. Again, there is nothing you can do against fist of the destroyer spam, it should be removed from the game. Knockback isn't that huge of an issue though, usually it is a disadvantage to the other team to knock someone back while they are bursting. I have seen it be more harmful than useful usually.

    Again this is mostly from a healer PoV, we are on stun DR way more often than other classes. I'm not 100% sure I would put immune to stun in equa, but I think adding an immunity to knockback/silence would be a nice change. Players should be rewarded for stunning well. Good coordinated burst is hard to heal against already, if you give a caster a stun immunity move with melee having fetterward, burst would probably just be impossible to heal against.
