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

If you guys read the road map you would know pvp is gonna have its own set of skills so it wont mess with PvE.....

Imposing movement restriction on Mages for the benefit of PvP combat is messing with PvE.

Which game allows you to kite and never take damage while dealing the same amount of damage you're capable of while standing perfectly still? Tanks can kite but they do so by getting enmity and using defensive buffs. Not dealing damage. A BLM kiting means there's now no need for a tank at all, you ARE the tank AND the DD at the same time. That isn't balanced.

You cannot currently kite and deal damage fluidly, as you have to stop and actually cast the spell, leaving yourself easily open to be caught up to and hit. Change nothing about that, and it would work fine. I'm sure other ways can be thought of to offset it.

This change primarily has to do with PvP, secondarily with making more "defined" party roles. I object to both reasons.

If it doesn't matter to you, then you really have no reason to argue.

EQOA, Age of Conan, DCU, WoW, Cabal.

Those are the MMOs that I have played where you can move and cast.

I don't know about the other games you listed here, but you could NOT move while casting in WoW. There are instant cast abilities that could be used while moving, just like Yoshi is planning on having in FFXIV.

WoW didn't have spell interrupt it had spell push back so standing still wasn't as bad as it is in this game and the instant cast spells didn't stop you from moving.

That's true, so maybe we should be asking for spell push back rather than interrupt while taking damage.

Instant cast spells won't stop you from moving once animation lock is removed. Hopefully that happens before 2.0, but I wouldn't count on it.

Have they said they're removing spell lock? I haven't seen them say so. ><

Get rid of animation lock, and allow casting while moving, at least SOME spells. The end. Anything less is going to result in a sub par game compared to other games where you party + move.
