2 melee 2 ranged standard

[Ggwppino]

I'm not attempting to trivialize it. In fact, a lot of my discussion of why it's hard for RDM to use its mobility tools sometimes is a direct demonstration of me not trivializing it, because I'm explaining why it's hard to do! How can that be trivializing something?

It's not trivial, but just because it's difficult doesn't mean it's impossible. And the crux of my argument is that, while planning mobility is difficult for ALL casters, it's harder for some than others. PCT is on the easier end.

My point is based that it all stemmed from the fact that rewd in his very first comment pointed out how what was written by Lyth was nonsense. And you attacked him by saying how the PCT is so extremely mobile that it implicitly legitimizes Lyth's comment. But it's crazy!

Having said that, I would put SMN in the easier end. Since it actually has practically nothing to plan. Not the PCT.
The PCT has a smoother slidecast in the first filler combo than the BLM.
But it has Motifs that last as long as a Despair but are cast more frequently. Furthermore, the tools are very similar (clearly not the same):
CIB -> Xeno
Hammer -> Triple
Smudge -> MA
