WoW allows smartcasting like this and it works perfectly. I can't even count the number of times that I saved pulls with a split second spirit link totem. XIV feels very painful in comparison.
Thanks for the response! Haven't played wow in many, many years so I couldn't remember. I'm not against the concept in any way shape or form, for the record. Anything that can improve FFXIV inputs (be it gameplay or menu) I'm for.
