    Running Casts

    We've had walking casts in PvP physranged jobs, and now they've introduced running casts with the addition of mounting while running.

    Running casts can reduce weave space and add a delay to the execution of a skill, without restricting mobility. Personally I prefer cast-related gimmicks like this or walking casts be more utilized on casters (like more gem summons on current summoner), but could there be some potential in it for phys ranged as well?

    I've theorized that Peloton could be repurposed to become an ability to negate the walking part of walking casts to aid with moments with lots of moving in combat -- especially now that Peloton is useless as an out of combat party buff thanks to the sprint to jog changes.

    Walking casts with no mobility penalty I can get behind.
    I think rphys needs something else than just mimicking casters though.

    Right, it'd still be 'caster gimmick but easier', which doesn't really cut it. I like to think their proc-based gameplay is mostly their thing at this point (with RDM really being the only one left otherwise, but it's RDM, and if MCH could ever get it and its ammo back), but it seems that's not too convincing either.
