I can confirm this since it's an exploit and may be part of the reason more people are in the high ranking tiers than should be that have played white mage sadly that haven't noticed and are unaware for the new mode

To add to the report:
Any CC (stuns/Silence for example) that stop the second cast also cause the glitch.

This desperately needs to be fixed. How does this thread only have 2 replies over 5 days? I found out about this through a Youtube comment. It seems to be public information and many people seem to be using this method to grind through the ranks. How are they going to give top 100 players of each server unique rewards if such a significant majority of victories are illegitimate? If one team has a WHM that is purposefully utilizing this bug, and if the other team either doesn't have a WHM or isn't aware of the bug, the latter will lose 99% of the time.

i think it has 2 comments because its a fairly uncontroversial bug report.

Maybe not more replies but one would expect it to have more likes/attention. Or expect it to be moved to confirmed bugs or something.

This is an extremely important bug that needs fixing right away before people get too frustrated with PvP

[Deceptus]

The fact it hasn't been moved to "accepted" (5 days later) is a bit troubling.

This is an extremely simple fix, you simply make the spell instant cast.

This needs to be addressed asap. The whole point of a ranked game mode relies on the sanctity of fair competition.

Since it will probably take awhile for it to get fixed, if you see anyone misusing the bug. Report immediately.
