Root on casting nerf still going live with GU?

Fendaria · 08-23-2011, 02:18 PM

I've searched on this forum and can't figure it out. Is the new being rooted on casting nerf (...er the bad moving while casting 'feature' for massive amounts of focus over the cap which no one can realistically obtain) still going live with this GU?

Or did the devs listen to players complaints and take it out or at least give us a toggle to turn the effect off?

Have there been any updates on this?

Last we heard from Silius this has been removed.

Sure would have been nice if this feature had been offered as an optional buff so that ppl who wanted it could use it, while those who didn't like it could ignore it.

+1 True, but that would have required listen to more then the whiners.

Did you even test what the change did? It was worthless.

It was amazing. I'm pretty mad it got taken out.

why cant they just give healers the ability to cast & run, like the paladin's heal? make it one solo & one group spell. even WoW has that!

I liked it, but it was bugged.

It was crappy that casting Pact of Cheetah didn't allow you to run faster while casting. And regardless, it would be nearly impossible to get enough focus to really be able to move at all. Glad it won't be going in. It's not a horrible idea, but as it was implemented it was useless. Frankly, I just prefer it the way it is on Live.

It was a death trap for all priests and mages.

If I'm not mistaken, it made it possible to not be interrupted by a KB, or? If so, it's pretty lame that all the "waaaa, I s*ck I can't press a button before I move, so change it back" whining got it reverted...

If not, who cares...
