Pestilential Blast=Very Annoying

[Dastion]

<DIV>I don't see how no one has been complaining about this yet.  When I'm in a group, the debuff on Pestilential Blast procs a LOT.  Which is good, except for that everytime it procs I do a casting animation and there is a spell graphic.  If i'm in the middle of casting a spell when it procs it drops my current casting animation and removes the casting bar.  I still finish up the spell, but it's very annoying as far as knowing exactly what my character is doing at the moment and for queueing up new spells and the like.</DIV>

<DIV>Oh, thanks for that info!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I was wondering why sometimes my casting bar would suddenly go away, but I'd still complete a spell.  I agree, very annoying.  I thought maybe it was due to lag or something.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now that I know it's a bug, and what the cause is, I'll start /bug reporting it.  Thanks!</DIV>

<P>Confirmed.</P> <P>You cast the spell and during the period of the dot, if it procs, you will lose the casting bar....but the spell you are casting (blight for example) WILL still go off as normal (ironically it was the "resist" sound that clued me that it still went off).</P> <P> </P> <P>Many times I would cast, the blast hits, and then I cast the next spell....see the bar go away and so I click again or onto the next spell in the line up -only to see "queued"........for a while I thought I was stunned or such. Nope, just a small bug.</P> <P> </P> <P>At least we all should be experienced enough to know our spells and cast times. Think of it as a touch of realism ...or style like blind fighting (remember EQ1 blind spells? lol)...either you know it or you dont.</P> <P> </P> <P>~Nomicon on Oasis</P> <P> </P> <P> </P>

yah same thing is happening here, it drives me mad, but complaining here feels like beating my head against the pavement to cure a headache.  I honestly don't think the devs traverse these boards due to their often hostil nature...sadly enough, I hope I'm wrong /shrug

Thank you for that information, I thought it was due to lag as well. Soss <div></div>

It's a community board, they find out bugs from te community and feedback.  You inform the community, the community realizes what it is and now that they know what's cuasing it, notice it more often and are more annoyed...so they [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot] until it's fixed faster <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  In a roundabout sense it is like beating your head against a sidewalk to cure a headache.  Someone will see you and say, "That's gotta hurt" and bring you some Tylenol :p

Yep,  very irritating.   I can put up with UI bit's for longer than I can put up with the stacking issue.   It's incredibly bad that DOTS don't stack never mind  DD's aswell.  Jeez,  what is wrong with having necro's play in same group?   <div></div>
