Reactives break HOs?

[Celestian_]

<DIV>Has anyone experienced a reactive heal firing that broke a HO? It seems to me (and I could be just imagining it) I will start a HO and instantly break it. THe only thing that could have caused it was my reactive heal firing.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyone else notice this?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>Alot of the HO's are stared and then broken instantly by the person that started them.</DIV> <DIV>It might be bug or something.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>But if you wait a couple of seconds...then try to start a chain or do something else, it shouldnt break.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>Well, I've seen in groups when I've started a HO and it break instantly and the text said I broke it... and I didn't have chance to perform any action yet before it broke.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I think thats what they are refering to.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>That kinda break is what I think might be caused by a reactive but, I'll just have to test it more to see.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>It's just the text that is broken. It doesn't show the name of whoever breaks it when it gets broken, but the name of the person that start the HO. So, if you start it, but someone breaks it, it will still show your name. It's a bug that was in the last 2 weeks of beta...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>On a side note, reactive heals messes up my casting time a lot, if it heals me while I'm casting.</DIV>

<DIV>It messes up your casting time Gwyn?  How so?</DIV>

<DIV>I play in a closed group, meaning that myself, my wife and 3 friends all play together. We use Teamspeak for communication. After seeing the difficulties we and others were having with getting some of the more complex HO's to go off we made a plan. What we do is just have the person who is going to initiate the HO say so 5 seconds before they actually hit the button, this gives everyone a chance to finish casting any spells that they had already started or the cleric...me...can toss out a quick BoV. I know everyone doesn't use Teamspeak, but perhaps making a macro button that accomplishes the same thing would work.</DIV>

However, there is no intertupted text , the spell hits and my power is drained.

[Gwynet]

<DIV>Yeah I meant casting bar not casting time.</DIV>

[Sparkleb]

<DIV>I have noticed that when an HO required me to cast the 'moon' type spell and I cast Archealing spell, the HO is immediately brokey.  However, when I cast Minor Healing the HO initiates.  Both spells are blinking, and both have the moon symbol.  But only one of them works.</DIV>

<DIV>I have never had a reactive heal break a H.O.  I start all solo battles with a reactive heal.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I generally do this,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Reactive heal,</DIV> <DIV>start attacking target but out of melee range</DIV> <DIV>Smite to pull,</DIV> <DIV>trigger Ho</DIV> <DIV>Smite </DIV> <DIV>Smite</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I've never noticed reactives ever breaking an H.O.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

[Atanvar]

I've had the same results as Nakatoki.

[Celestian_]

<DIV>Yeah, turns out the problem was just a display issue on the person who broke the HO. Seems that it will sometimes say you broke it when actually someone else did.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

Sparklebug,You would only be asked to advance a starter chain with a moon if you are in a group. Chances are someone stomped on your starter chain. Additionally, minor healing is chalice and arch healing is moon.BakerJoe25 Templar Nektulos
