Should the Casting Timer be removed or reduced for better DPS output?

No they should not. End of thread

actually the community calls them casters, the official page calls them magical dps lol

OTOH, their gear type is labeled "Casting", soo....

I like the fact that spellcasters have a casting time, it would be hella boring if they were instant caster, FF is a traditional MMORPG not an Action MMORPG.
It also makes them kinda badass having to charge up all that mana to release a powerful spell.. IDk I dig it.

As a BLM main, I feel lucky if I can make it all the way through one rotation without having to move and reset everything, but that's the challenge and the fun of playing a caster. I'm still leveling and I'm only just nearing 70, but I really need to work on timing my Swiftcast/Triplecast or my Firestarter/Thundercloud proc to use while moving, it's my biggest faceplant atm knowing I could've casted while moving out of an AoE, but it just doesn't come intuitively yet. I think if cast time was removed, BLM would become stagnant.
