As long as the cast time is at or under your GCD they're functionally exactly the same (generally the GCD is about 2.5 seconds but it gets a little bit lower with skill/spell speed- it depends on the Job). Most cast time vs instant is just a matter of 'am I able to move during this to dodge AoEs or not?'. As such spells with cast times tend to have higher potency to make up for that draw back, unless the instants are on a long cooldown. <cite>tcaz2 posted [p:959505708] in Teach me h...
