If a 1.5s cast with full mobility during is going to kill people how do Black/Red Mages survive?

HW Cast Times still didn’t allow actual movement either, so you’d have to deal with interrupts if you tried to walk while casting (or turn off Minuet and cry at the amount of lost dps lol). Powerful Shot still allows you to literally walk out of an AoE while casting, so I don’t understand how it would affect survivability in any way.

You could argue ‘but that’s not that different from what we have now!’ which is true, it wouldn’t be a massive ultimate rework. But it’s still better than literal nothing lol. I’d rather have some fluff abilities that are there just to be fun than a bunch of sterile automatic-use ones that are perfectly optimised (which is our current toolkits)
