1. The "get some skill" argument is BS, fastcasting has always been abused whenever there are attribute points to spare and runes/primary/secondary are irrelvant to the build. Skilled interrupters will land interrupts on equally skilled players, they will do it less often against fast casting. Divine Favor is the main and huge reason FC healers aren't seen. Compare to energy storage, soul reaping, and spawning power on many other builds and it's obvious why FC might be preferred there.

2. Since we are in the HA section, interrupts are also less common of a threat than in GvG since people usually spending midline spots on eles instead of rangers. So even when GvG was going crazy with FC LC and the like, HA wasn't.

I think I like you now. You are a good source of irony.

Unfortunately, the rest of your post is utter tripe. Don't pretend that you aren't trying to be an arrogant prick in all of your posts.

P.S. do you remember that time you got banned for being a troll?

The reason why it won't work is because no stances.

It's usually Monk primary with a secondary used for defensive stances. If you go Mesmer primary for Fast Cast and go Monk secondary for Heal/Prot, you lose your stances.

Spamming Heals constantly will make you go dry so fast since spamming heals would never be able to keep up with damage.

For Prots, people have enchantment removal. And for times when you can't cast, like knocked down, you're pretty much screwed because you have no stances to save yourself and the fast cast prot won't help.

This was actually done back in early factions/mid factions days by a fairly popular guild. NR/Tranq builds were very very common, and NR itself was almost an autowin against regular balanced teams if you could ever keep it up. The guild ran its own version of balanced with a spirit spammer, and used a FC prot to deal with NR.

I dont remember if it was GANK or milk that ran it however.

Missed the part that said it was HA. Wow, I feel stupid now lol. But just to put up a little fight, I sometimes see [[Mantra of Flame] so there's still stances.

Anyways, bad Monks bring mantra of flame.

Hey, let's TANK in AoE, so we get energy to heal ourselves out from tanking AoE.

C wut they did thar?

On topic:

FC works with almost any caster bar, question is, what are you trying to achieve?

FC ele works, because they can spam more spells in lesser times, and might (Never calculated it) eventually outspam a "real" ele.

In GvG, FC is godmode because of all the Pblocks and OP ranger interrupts.

In HA... Well, there's heroes, and that's about it...

1S, 1/2 or 1/4. Heck, even 1/8 don't matter for a hero. If they can interrupt my infuse health 3 times in a single match under HB, then FC won't be a problem for them either.
