RDM Dualcast

[CupDeNoodles]

I have an idea, not sure if it's a good idea.

I often, while playing RDM, hit Jolt while under the Dualcast effect thus wasting said Dualcast. Now I'm not sure how Jolt plays into a lv70 rotation while Dualcast is active but I feel as though, if it's never meant to be cast while Dualcast is active than why be able to cast it at all?

More to the point.

Is it possible to have an added effect on the Dualcast buff that prevents the casting of Jolt so I can stop wasting Dualcast? Please?

For the same reason I can press Rage of Halone without the combo active.

I main warrior so I know what you're talking about but I think the Dualcast thing is a bit different. I have had moments on warrior where I screwed the combo because of lag. The only way you know Dualcast is active is by looking for the buff itself whereas your example is a chain of combos.

There are times when you'll actually want to blow dual on a Jolt/Impact. Granted I admit this situation is usually rare, depending on how the math lines up on your bars, a Jolt/Impact is optimal to get as close to 100/99 before dumping it. Lining up that perfect double Enchanted Redoublement while Embolden is up has a pretty narrow range on those mana bars and sometimes you just need those extra 3/4 points in both to hit it.

let's just make every job like monk so people can't screw up while we're at it.

this is a big problem with the RDM gauge. the gauge should tell you when Dualcast is available and when Verstone/Verfire procs.

It would be cool if the UI element reflected Dualcast being up in some way so I don't have to search my buff bar but SwdVengeance has a good point--sometimes it's advantageous to cast jolt 2/impact.

The buff that comes up EVERYTIME you cast a spell isn't enough for knowing Dualcast is available? The glowing boarder around Verstone/Verfire isn't enough indication? The only reason I can see those being missed are:

1. Lag so bad it actually doesn't let you get skills off
2. Playing with your HUD completely invisible
3. Not looking at the screen and watching Netflix instead

Did I miss one?

It's also the only pink-ish coloured buff you see as a RDM 99.99999% of the time(not even sure if there is another one that is that colour anyways).

I love this idea too. I'd be cool with this too as I'm always looking at it more than I do on say warrior.

It'd be helpful for the times I thought I fired off my dualcast spell but for whatever reason the spell didn't actually go off, in my case anyway.
