We interrupt your current server woes to talk about casting

[Atoli]

Oh great, Dzemael runs will be fun now..-.-

"Hey where are you going?"
"We have to hurry, I thought we wanted to clear this dungeon in 25 min?"
"Noo, you have to stand still so I can throw a heal and stone skin at you because I'm no longer able to run after you and cast at the same time because someone thought it would be a great idea to kill supportive gameplay for his stupid vision of PvP thaumaturges...although I'm a conjurer and it shouldn't affect me..yeah, so stay still and let yourself get killed while I cast stoneskin, okay?"

Also, the whole "Press H"-business seems like an even worse step in between than having to reconfirm you REALLY want to use cure on your dying tank =__='

wow I didnt even think about situations such as darkhold, theres gonna be a lot of animosity between casters and the rest of their more "eager" party members for running away from buffs more often then before.

Surely there must been any other way to implement easy way to interupt spells? The basic casting system we have in the current engine doesn't realy seem built for this kind of DONT MOVE casting system. : s

Oh well, might be not as bad if other factors has been(or is planned to be) changed to acomodate this.

What are you smoking? have u even tried darkhold post 1.20? there was no reason to heal anyone while running when everyone have 3k-4k, it's even less of an issue when you are doing 25min run because at most you will only be hit with the eyes once.

The only times you need to heal is on post-first blue light portal where u have multiple mobs beating on you and guess what? people are actually standing still there, lol.

and also, if people moving around(and the caster) it will be likely the heal/buff wont hit all of them.
