Moving will be made to interrupt spellcasting at a point in time...

I don't think I like this. I DO want a way to instantly cancel casting spells, but I don't like it being by movement. People shouldn't die to cure being canceled at the last second because a controller is touchy... I could see making cast times longer or something if you are running around or something. I suppose I will just get used to it, I did in FFXI.

I see no problem here.
Move along.

I am gonna have to agree with mr. lord almighty of all of what he surveys Jinrya Geki on this one. Unless they make the dmg out put higher on mages to make it worth staying in one spot, i dont like this change. This game has been unfair to mages since the begining. Remember when melee can out xp mages cause they attacked more? Seriously when is SE gonna fix this mage racist attitude they have? And how about those Ifrit weapons of ours..... its a complete joke....

[Exni]

Lame change. It was actually nice to be able to move yourself while casting... we already got locked up when the cast intiates and when it was casted, that was more than enough. Now we'll have to stand still all over again.. (from XI days..) This patch.. /sigh.. At least TOR comes out tomorrow..

A system that allows you to move and utilize word hole simultaneously is a lot more dynamic then a system where you are static.

You never/barely ever had to move in fights in FF11, so it worked there. I'd like them to continue with the mechanics of the Ifrit fight and make more movement/action based battles. If they can manage that while requiring us to stand still, I have no complaints, but if not then I'd like to be able to move around.

This will ruin the ifrit fight, btw

Um? I'd love to hear the explanation on that....


Mages don't have to move at all unless they get an eruption under them. If they are casting and eruption is under them 8/10 times they are going to get hit by one of the explosions.

If you start casting and have to run, 9/10 you're not going to be able to get back to your target before the cast time completes.

The only "issue" I see regarding Ifrit is that I like to long-cast my raises during his jumps on my fallen comrades... start casting, then run to a safe spot, then weave back to the target for the end of the cast. Won't be able to do that anymore... but that's ok I just like to save chainspell for emergencies.

No more chain spell whm only!!!

It won't ruin Ifrit fight. Mages don't run there unless they have to run away.

But in general it would ruin a lot, because it's hindering yet again the freedom of movement. If they ever bring out PvP like they said they would, this thing will be the first to be removed again at the next patch after, because the QQing you'll get from mages then will be insane.
