    weird thing about casting

    sometimes i click on the spell and there is the sound that confirms the spell is being selected but nothing happens,no message that the spell is casting! or cancelled.

    there is much more stress when healing with this problem,sometimes i button mash the spell and the casting get cancelled lol

    does this happen to you mages?

    Maybe it's a server lag issue?

    I get it all the time, i hate this moving to cancel, its so crap with the dreadful laggy servers.

    The only way I've been able to make things a little better is use XPadder to Map H to my Auto Run key on my controller to force stop myself then turn on Action Queuing, even then its frustrating as shit as spells seem to not do anything, then I cancel them.

    Have to stop moving before you cast. Just gotta get used to it, but yea it shouldn't do the "successful action" sound when it didn't go through.

    Definitely needs to be different.
    As it is now, it's hard to tell if the action was successfully registered or not.

    During higher level battles when split seconds count, waiting to see if you're moving and wondering if your heal will go off or not is proving to be quite deadly.

    It will take getting used to, but a different sound for success vs. failure of the action would be very nice.

    I am having this problem to and it is not because I am moving, I am standing still. Spell casting is terrible since the patch, I spend most of my time dead now.

    Stop casting when you move is a standard in every mmorpg... They did right to implement it.. sadly the engine/server system atm is pure sh...t ... So this feels very frustrating.. Imho they had to wait 2.0 for this.. But is ok too.. maybe just need to get used..

    Have the same issue while tanking. I try to cast cure on myself but nothing happens even though there was an activation sound. Gets pretty annoying in some situations (like when 5 mobs hit you at once xD).

    Since the patch i noticed that almost half the spells i cast dont work. im standing still use stone, it hits, use stonaga casts Nothing, try again Nothing, try aero nothing, try stone it casts, happens Alot!
    & yes they need to get rid of that not being able to move while casting it would be ok if you could solo the whole game but you cant!
