But it takes less time for a WT to stop slashing than it does for a GT to stop shooting and run into the epicenter of combat... and even with lvl 40 support, the displacement between the center of combat and the extended range from casting on the sidelines doesn't match up. It's going to have more effective coverage when cast from within the frontlines.
I don't really see the PA animation as a huge deterrance, as most PA animations don't take that long to finish unless you start the next hit. While you're in the PA animation, you can begin swapping your pallet so that as soon as the animation ends - your wand/MAG is ready. It only becomes a hinderance if you're on a slow internet connection and the server doesn't recognize the switch right away - but, you would have that problem on any teching class as well.
As for S-Rank wands, I agree it makes no sense. However, as it is now - Srank wands aren't really much to get excited over anyhow. They're basically just for decoration.
