seriously is it that hard?
and i hear the "i am from EU, its so bad here" excuse again, i am from the EU too (austria) and i never had any problems with that mythical EU lag that renders you unable to dodge ifrit or stop and cast...

I play black mage a lot since the patch and its no problem whatsoever for me to stop and cast and yes i use a controller and i don't have a /facetarget macro.
You just look at the blue arrows, that's what they are for, even when rushing thru the darkhold its no problem to stop for a second and cast a sleepga on the running by hordes.
