    Inaccurate error message when attempting to remove BLU spells.

    Date & Time: 4/16/2021 8:44 AM
    Frequency: Always
    World name: Adamantoise
    Character name: Anrita
    Class/Level: BLU 70
    Party or solo: Solo
    In-game time: 8:30a
    Area and coordinates: Ul'dah - Steps of Thal 11.6, 13.2
    Steps:
    1. Cast a BLU spell with a long cooldown
    2. End combat, if in combat
    3. Attempt to remove BLU spell before cooldown completes

    The error message given is "Unable to remove spell while casting.", however this can cause confusion, as the player is not casting the spell in question, and may not even have it on their hotbar anymore to see that it's on cooldown. A more accurate message would be "Unable to remove spell while on cooldown."

    This is an issue that occurs everytime I load an active set from my Blue Magic Spellbook.

    This message appears and I can not change my loadout. This is very inconvenient.

    Inconvenient but working as intended. This is the localization forum, so this thread isn't about the merits of the system or how the system works; it's just about how the error message is worded.

    Though we as players use the term "cooldown" quite regularly, it isn't a term that the game ever uses. Something more consistent with game terms would be, "Unable to remove spell while its recast timer is active."
