Hi,I wonder is other people have come by the same issue. if I use Freehand sorcery, and queue another spell after it (usually ice nova) I often have some big delays after FS being cast, and Ice Nova starting. If it is fast, then the delay is about 1.5s. But I had delays of 4sec as well. Its totally random.I have no problems to queue concussive + IN. In this combination casting will always start immediately.I have a mod which shows me the duration of the maintained spells, so I can easily see the variance of the delay.So my question is, does someone else have the problem too?

I get the exact problem, same cast combination as you with FH + IN, though I've noticed sometimes that it apepars to be casting without showing the cast animation and cast bar, as the spell finishes before the progress bar reaches the end for the cast timer.<div></div>

I too have noticed that second orso delay between freehand and icenova/fusion. I ususaly spam the spell, its something ive done for so long i cant remember back when i noticed a small delay in casting one spell after another. If you spam each spell untill it starts casting it cuts anydelay to nothing or next to nothing <div></div>

I will give that macro a try. Perhaps queuing is still working, but the display is too slow to show it correctly.

<div align="left">yes i have the delay too, but icenova is casted before the bar runs out so i think at the end, there is no time wasted.</div><div></div>
