Integration of the Sword: Red Mage

[Rongway]

To me, the largest strength of Vercure is in its ability to trigger Dualcast like anything else. You can pre-pop it to have Swiftcast on demand before entering combat, or alternate it with your 5s casts for less DPS loss than one would normally assume.

Vercure->Veraero/Verthunder is exactly the same DPS loss as slowcasting Veraero/Verthunder.

Vercure:2.5s + Instant Veraero/Verthunder:2.5s = 5.0s
Slowcast Veraero/Verthunder: 5.0s

In both cases, you're committing two GCDs to a single nuke, so let's please not encourage people to think that Vercure is an on-demand Swiftcast while combat is active.
