Perhaps.

I'd have just been okay with SAM/RPR like casts: 1.5s cast for Apex Arrow, 1s cast for Drill, Anchor, Chainsaw... Perhaps a cast time for Starfall, but DNC burst can sometimes get crammed to the brim with things to weave already.

But that won't honestly change anything. It's not gonna be a huge constraint at all (are Iajutsus or Communio really a hurdle to overcome? lolno), and it's gonna be obvious to everyone that nothing will change in terms of balance, unless they really turn every rphys into a proper caster (HW style). And i'm staunchly opposed to that. I don't play rphys to spend my time casting, else I'd play a caster. I play it for proc/priorities and hopefully engaging rotations, which it has... kinda lost over time sadly.
