BLM flow and instant Cast logic problems

[KalinOrthos]

Th...then don't use your Firestarter and Thundercloud procs when you don't have to move? Instead continue to cast Fire 4 and Fire 1 to refresh Eno and Astral Fire stacks, as you should be doing, and when you have to move, use that instant Fire 3 or Thunder 3 you have waiting in the wings so you can deal some damage when you move? Or Triplecast to cast Fire 4/1 on the run? Black Mage is the hardest class to optimize just because movement is their arch-nemesis, but it's really not that hard to understand why instant-casts are integral to your kit.

am sorry this reply in its own shows that you don't understand the flow of the BLM ... I don't Get to cast whenever I want there is a timer stuck on my forehead to keep the fire or ice faze alive ... ... AND LOCKING my character (which my main issue here) for two seconds for a fake "instant" cast is my problem ... playing a black mage you can barely finish a rotation even a single time in the high-end content AND it's CLEAR that instant spell intent in their design is to be as the name suggests instant ... this is my main argument the GCD makes it not so instant ...
