Dont worry all you scholars out there! You wont need Ruin 2 to double weave when they remove energy drain anyway!

This works great for minor movement mechanics, but don't tell me you're just going to neglect to mention Lightspeed. I don't remember them mentioning that WHM and SCH were getting Sextuplecast on top of the 1.5s cast times.I play AST. The 1.5s cast times are perfectly fine for moving and weaving. You should be planning out your weaves and put things on a priority list. Do I need the heal first or the damage first? I can draw this card, wait a bit to play it since I need to get out Horoscope. This is gonna be a similar idea for the coming SCH changes. If you need to move more, Switftcast in your weave window.
This will absolutely happen. Wanna know how I know? Sage didn't get a strictly better version of it.


Even if Energy Drain is removed once again, it would still be nice to have a regular instant-casting option (Swiftcast doesn't count since that's very occasional and also usually saved for Resurrection) to attack from a distance while actively running around to avoid AOE mechanics that involve back-to-back attacks. Broil spells getting shorter casting times next expansion isn't the same as them being instant casts.
I also left out from my original post that Ruin II actually has multiple traits that increase its damage, not just a single one, and it could very well get another in the future. So why does Ruin get its name upgraded to multiple sets of Broil spells, but Ruin II never gets a changed name to help further separate its identity from Summoner?




With Broil cast time being reduced to 1.5, SCH's won't need it anymore anyway. And even though Energy Drain+Ruin 2 is slightly higher potency than Broil III, spamming that crap during Chain is so unsatisfactory that it feels like a DPS loss. Ruin 2 is a pretty good movement skill though, and variations of it is something that I think the other healers also need.
