Hello,
I didn't see it on here so I wanted to let you know that I found a glitch while using the Blue Mage spell Magic Barrier. When cast upon yourself without any other buffs up, it works fine but if I cast Diamondhide on myself and then try to cast Magic Barrier, Magic Barrier will act like it's casting and then MISS once the casting is complete and the status effect does not show up. I can then proceed to cast it again and again before its recast timer is up.
Stoneskin and Magic Barrier occupy the same slot in buffs/debuffs, and they do not stack or can be up at the same time. Like Haste/Slow, Bio/Dia, Fanatic's/Fool's Drink, or other buffs/debuffs.
If you want Magic Barrier, cancel stoneskin. Want stoneskin, cancel Magic Barrier.
I was unaware that that was how the two effects worked, so that makes perfect sense as to why when I cast it, it kept missing.
The real issue then is that I was able to continually cast Magic Barrier on myself without the recast timer being up. The base recast on it is 1 minute so I should not be able to cast it immediately after the spell animation completes. I used the recast command and checked my spell list to see that the recast time was working properly and in the spell list, the spell was grayed out as it should be. I was not casting from the spell list though, I was using a macro that I had set up for it. If Diamondhide was down, everything worked properly.
