I just happen to notice that using Sprint with Dualcast on automatically cancels the buff (was doing unsync dungeon and I decided to sprint to next set of mobs to use my dualcast and it removed it).
After that I decided to test it on purpose to make sure I wasn't mistaking something and confirmed it does cancel it.
Seems odd it should cancel it so I was wondering if there is a reason why using Sprint removes the Dualcast buff.

i'm not a dev, but my guess it has something to do with being same technical realization as ninja's Mudra (Ninjutsu). Ninja get their Mudras failed if any other skill (including Spirtn) been used while casting Ninjutsu. Kind of weird decision if i am right about this, definately worth fixing

It's one of those little things I've gotten used to but wish I didn't have to. I feel they should work to make sprint not interfere with mudras or dualcast.

On a completely unrelated note why does sprint stuck so much? I have to click it 3+ times for it to work...

12-19-2017, 09:23 PMAlistaireAre you just clicking it early because you're used to pre-nerf sprint?Quote:
