Slidecasting is something we all love and enjoy, especially anything that uhh– casts.

So for today’s video I’m going to share a really neat trick to keep track of slidecasting that all players have access to! Emotes! And yes you heard that right, emotes are the window into learning the slidecast window!

The easiest way to describe slidecasting is that you can move very tiny amounts while still casting. This can be used to allow some restricted mobility to casters. Obviously bigger movements call for other tools to be used, but this allows some baseline inching around to resolve mechanics!

Now for the trick!

So arrange your user interface where you can get some emotes in your face and drag them onto the bar. Now start casting a spell and you’ll notice for the majority of the cast bar that the emotes are blocked off– now suddenly they reappear! As soon as they have reappeared on your screen you can start moving or even jumping to your next cast.

Of course this is a very brief window though so be careful you aren’t clipping your global cooldown too badly with this! Otherwise you’re losing a decent chunk of the benefit of slidecasting.

However once you have mastered slidecasting it is extremely worth it.

Once you get comfortable with the emojis, you may either decide to keep them or take them away if you get really used to the timings yourself. But I think this is excellent and is an extremely accessible way for all players to get some trainings wheels for slide casting!

Anyhow take care everyone, and if this video helped you I’d super appreciate if you considered dropping a slidecasted fire 4 onto that like button and cat daddy that subscribe button! Take care everyone!

  2. When you’ve been playing since 2.X days, noticed the correlation, but never connected the dots…
    I feel so dumb BUT cause I’m lazy time to add emote to hot bar for reminder lol

  3. Small added tip. If you are slide casting on a class with a cast time the same as its recast (like Black Mage) it will typically clip into your next cast. As long as you stop moving before your cast bar fills, it should mostly eliminate this.

  4. Watching the emotes can be good but you'll always know that you can slide cast any cast if you start moving when there are 00.49s left to the cast, emotes are available a little after, around 00.30s, as a main healer, I can assure you that starting to move at 00.49s can save many lives, just keep practicing it and you'll be able to cast anything at any moments 👌
