Ye FC Air is still a build most top guilds have in their circulation.

As for FC: the best thing to do is play for awhile with it. Then take it off and see how you feel. You're gonna want it back.

LOL @ Hella.
Yeah, it's like speed.

Very addictive. LOL

Shiroken Farming is boring and difficult without it. That's the only benefit i see to it in pve.

mmmm, I might go home and hit my FC pipe...I don't feel fast enough...crank it up to 16 and get a real good fix...

In truth I almost can't play other caster primaries because they take so dang long to cast. I mean seriously, I can't wait a full second, I need that spell NOW! That is why I was such an abyssmal elementalist, 5 seconds for a spell that is over in 9 seconds?!? How is that worth anything? Yeah I am addicted...

Incidentally, fast casting almost completely ruins the coolest looking 15k mesmer armor (nobels) because the + armor is only helping for 1/2 to 1 second at a time. What a waste, it looks so nice.

EDIT: I forgot to say that it is helpful IMO in PvE, but not really in large amounts 8-9 is usually what I run. IF I were to run a total interrupt bar (a waste IMO) then I would say that FC is not needed at all, but if there are other skills on there (likely), then yes it is still a good thing.

Is it useful in PvE? Sure, casting faster is always useful. Maybe not as useful, since you don't need to worry as much about being interrupted, but it certainly doesn't hurt.

And really, what else do you need to spend your attributes on? You can easily make a build using either Dom or Illusion, while still having points for FC and Inspiration. I run 9 FC in PvE and PvP, unless I'm running FC skills like MoRecov in which case it might get bumped to 10 or 11. This is the same case with warriors; sure you don't need Strength for PvE, but you don't generally need to invest in 3 other attributes either so why not sink some points in it?

Every time I stop playing Me and switch to something else I feel I want to log off in the middle of a 2s cast skill. Heck, even 1s annoy me. It's great to know that I can count on my skills being very hard to interrupt. Even a modest amount of about 9-11 in FC makes most skills on your skill bar extremely hard to catch, unless someone is spamming random interrupts (I know I've been guilty of doing that sometimes) or predicting your moves (which is basically only a step higher than spamming random interrupts).
