A tiny, simple RDM Request

As Dualcast is the key mechanic of the job, an indicator on the job gauge would not be out of place.


But why haven't you already pressed the button for the second spell before the first even finished casting, so that it cast immediately?
Movement doesn't affect Dualcast, and weaponskills cancel Dualcast, so in either case you shouldn't have a residual Dualcast lying around.

I find that even instant-use abilities will interrupt movement sometimes so I don't like using anything when trying to move out of AoEs. And yeah, weaponskills cancel Dualcast, but Fleche and Contre Sixte (which is what I will usually use right after moving if they are up) won't and a lot of times it goes like this:

1). Hard-Cast a spell.
2). Oh No! AoE! Move!
3). Move.
4). Contre Sixte/Fleche
5). .....do I have Dualcast?

I've been training myself to assume I have Dualcast and if I see a cast meter come up, to take a step to stop the cast and cast Jolt/Stone/Fire instead, but sometimes I just plain forget.

@HyoMinPark:

I have my UI mostly set up good, it's just that normally I don't need to see my buffs. Dualcast is the first thing I've run into that doesn't display itself either on the job gauge, nor your hotbars that I routinely ever need to keep track of.

And as someone mentioned above, since Dualcast is so bloody important to the job, you'd think that the job gauge should display it somehow. Hence, why I made this suggestion thread. It's a core mechanic to the job, therefore it belongs on the job meter.

That, and I run 1360x768. I don't have a lot of real estate to be putting buff bars, etc in the middle of the screen. If I do that, then I can't see what's going on. As it is, I had to shrink the hotbars down to the next-to-smallest setting and move them off to the side so I can see where my character is and such.

You can see I'm pretty booked on screen space already. I don't really have much extra room to work with. The only thing I can think of, is trying to tuck the buff bar down between the hotbar and chat, don't know how that would work. Could try it tho.
