Roaming Soul

[hao]

When using Roaming Soul, the cast timer for the buff spell casted immediately after is not displayed. The action/cast timer appears for half-a-second, and then disappears.

Hello I'd like to add on to my initial bug report:

When using Roaming Soul, the cast timer for the buff spell (when casted on self and other players) or debuff/DoT spell (when casted on monsters) casted immediately after is not displayed. The action/cast timer appears for half-a-second, and then disappears.

Platform: Windows 7
ISP: Verizon
Type of Internet Connection: Wireless DSL
Internet Connection Speed: ~11 Mbps
Date & Time: 8/15/11, 11:09 AM PST
Frequency: Always
Character Name: Jin Sun
Race: Midlander (Male)
World: Besaid
Class/Skill Rank: Tested on 50 CON
Physical Level: 50
Area and Coordinates: The Black Shroud (20,20) & (20,21)
Party or Solo: Issue occurs when casting on self, other players, and monsters
NPC Name: N/A
Monster Name: Thistletail Marmot
In-Game Time: 21:20

Steps for "buffs"/supportive magic tests:
1. Target self or other player(s)
2. Cast Roaming Soul
3. Cast Protect II/Shell II/Stone Skin II/Shock Spikes II
(Protect II, Shell II, Stone Skin II, and Shock Spikes II were all tested, issue occurred when casting them on both self and others)

Two tests were done for debuff/DoT magic: in the first, the target was not engaged prior to casting the debuff/DoT spell; in the second, the target was engaged before casting the debuff/DoT spell. Both debuff/DoT magic tests were conducted on a single Thistletail Marmot with AoE on.

Steps for debuff/DoT magic test 1:
1. Target Thistletail Marmot
2. Cast Roaming Soul
3. Cast Absorb ATK/Frost II/Choke II
(Absorb ATK, Frost II, and Choke II were all tested)

Steps for debuff/DoT magic test 2:
1. Target Thistletail Marmot
2. Cast Frost II/Choke II
3. Cast Roaming Soul
4. Cast Absorb ATK/Frost II/Choke II


Thanks, Xophious. I appreciate all the effort you put into this forum
