Why would you swiftcast one single-target DPS spell? What are you fighting that you need that one DPS spell 2 seconds sooner? What kind of cutting edge progression content are you doing where that one Broil IV is going to prevent an enrage timer from happening?
Whatever damage you did by that one single spell (and wasted your most powerful emergency tool in so-doing), another DPS could have done 2x that in the same amount of time.
Due to the rules of ABC, healers should be DPSing, but maximizing your DPS by expending abilities that are meant for healing is stupid. As a healer, DPS is something you do when nobody needs healed, it doesn't mean that you forsake your healing duties to push more DPS. DPS is just a byproduct of your downtime, secondary busywork that you are meant to do between heals.
I don't know whether to cry or laugh because this always happens to me too. I just work up to courage to use Swiftcast on anything but Raise and not a second later the tank will decide to take a nap.
Tbh the only class I use swiftcast for is blue mage. I probably need to work it into my black mage and red mage rotations but for Summoner and the healers it's just the "press if someone has died" button so I just have the habit of not really sparing it for dps rotations even on the dps
I feel it the most when I use a macro for raise. For some reason it wouldn't kick in, or I get to raise someone only for another party member to die XD
YEUP 😂
Same. So I just say fucking and insta holy anyway.
as a WHM that loves doing a Swift Holy as the tank pulls up to the wall, this kills me when it happens lmao
and that is why i have grown so paranoid that i only use swiftcast to res someone XD
I simply never use Swiftcast outside of Raise, even on RDM.
Sometimes you never know when you need to press the emergency button as a Summoner.

Because folks love wasting time by dying.
Too real! 😆

I usually swiftcast succor and then hard-rez just to make my point. ❤
I feel this… deep in my soul

“I think I’m pretty-“
Correct 😛
Thats why I only use it with Revive.
Guess they're staying dead for 60 secs lol
I play Astro so I have lightspeed that turns everything into an instant cast as long as it's up so I save actual swift cast for res itself
Just don't use it ouside of prog. It's that simple
Exactly why i only swiftcast spells on magic dps lol
My bad
I feel this and I play a SMN lol healers always seem to die when Swiftcast is on CD

Feel better knowing this is a universal experience 😅
