Let's Face It. We Need a Nerf On Spell Casters Being Interrupted.

No. I already have to deal with this game's stellar netcode watching Cure II's go off when I land a blow at ~50% cast. A hidden percentage on top of that is stupid. Use your cooldowns if you expect to freecast with impunity.

I don't agree as a scholar ! I didn't like 2.15 change for scholar

Scholar survivability got hammered this patch with the Miasma change. They simply cannot escape a tank/train short of a Blizzard II now. I feel this was a somewhat unnecessary, generalized fix that should have only targeted Arcanists/Summoners. Miasma II's heavy component should function as a defensive maneuver for the Scholar, same as Fluid Aura if we were to draw parallels.

I don't agree as a scholar ! I didn't like 2.15 change for scholar, cause we lose our own snare for kitting.

Whm has Holy, Repose, Fluid Aura and Regen, much easier to kite with this spell.

U can still lustrate spam every 1min and if u save ur aetherflow stacks u can do 6x lustrate row and 3 lustrate is like worth of 1 benediction that whm have 5min cd and u have pet that can heal freely all of the time. scholar have more healing utility than WHM but thats the price of WHM:s cc utility.

[LongNu]

yah maybe before 2.15 but now melees are better since they can remove sprint they have much better uptime now and kiting is harder since scholars and summoners do not have snare anymore. I bet melees are way much more better than 2.1 even without that melee ranged system.

Stop overrating Melee. Ranged is still stronger. Only reason Melee even have a chance in tiered comps is because of the forced queue system.

Do you mean just SMN instead of Ranged? Only range I see that does more damage than mnk/drg is SMN.

Maybe there is another reason why there is melees or ranged in different category like if they overbuff melees they need boost ranged dps and spiral never gonna end but in that way it is way much more easier do balance issues when u need compare only 2 - 3 classes instead 5 different classes.

I am a WHM and casting while getting chased by a train is annoying as hell

Virtually all Range DPS interrupting my cast is BS

Miasma II interrupting my cast is BS... I think if someone sneezed in my general direction it would interrupt my cast

its dumb and makes playing WHM in PvP annnnnnnnoooying

The only thing I get is surecast and 1 PvP skill where I can pop off some cures but outside of that its really book it -> LOS enemy Team Cast (if your not in my LOS for a snap cure well your dead)

That healing utility doesn't really make up for the gap created by losing miasma's heavy. It doesn't take long to burn 3 or even 6 lustrates when you get holmganged (since aura blast wont knockback a holmganged war now) and someone else on your team is being focused.

"Casters are overpowered" mainly applies to SMN, who can kill without ever casting-- so the point is moot-- and BLM/WHM sleep.

I agree that SOMETHING should be changed. As it stands, only auto-attacks interrupt casting. This mainly becomes a problem when you are ganged up on. So rather than reduce the % chance to interrupt, there should be something to allow casters to survive (or, attempt to survive) being hit by all three opposing dps at once.

Are you sure it's auto attacks? i thought it was the opposite where skill interrupt and auto attacks don't

Attunement, Testudo/Cover, team synergy, faith in your healer - any of the above.

Weaponskills interrupt casting too. Any direct damage dealt will cancel a cast.
