BLM flow and instant Cast logic problems

[KalinOrthos]

Uh. Instant casts aren't meant to be placeholders for hard spellcasting. They're there to give you the ability to either move, snap refresh, or weave (which BLM doesn't really have any weaves apart from buffs). Firestarter and Thundercloud are nice because they allow you SOME ability to move without sacrificing all of your damage. It's why Scathe, as bad as it is, should probably be on your bars somewhere, just to have your GCD continually moving when you are, as a last resort.

If you're willing, I'd say give Red Mage and Summoner a spin to get a better understanding of what instant casts will do to your kit, just how much they add to your mobility and weaving potential.

that is adapting to the problem not fixing it ...and its called instant for a reason it INSTANT ... which is both contradicted and ruined by the GCD that is basically the same (time-wise) as casting the spell normally making it basically useless if not just to cast a spell when moving ... once every 60 seconds in a fight that you can't even stand still in for even 8 seconds without and Aoe or a mechanic interrupting your rotation
