What if: Movement during casting

[Mikey_R]

I do not agree with the idea that casters should be able to move whilst casting, however, I do not see a reason why this concept couldn't be used for a new physical ranged job.

And, just to clarify something here:

Making it cancellable via Jump helps a fair bit, but you still then have the problem of being locked out of any new cast until again grounded (about a full second).

When you cancel a cast with jump, you do not actually jump, it just stops the cast and lets you act right away, similar to if you press esc on a keyboard to cancel a cast.

On controller or something? I can guarantee you that jumping on keyboard is making my character jump when cancelling casts.

Like I'm doing it ingame right now...

Like... why

Because a single BLM had to abort a single cast once, making them actually feel like, you know, they were casting. And we can't have that!

It might be a difference in controller vs. keyboard that I wasn't aware of. On controller, you can press jump mid cast and it does cancel it, both on walking and stationary casts.
