Druid Cast Interuptions

[S0ulseeker]

I've been playing a Druid a lot lately. I think they are much better now in pretty much every aspect and the spirit of nature is actually useful now, however as being a healer Remedy needs to be channeled and casting another spell such as Pet attack, whistle, or claw strike cancels the Remedy heal and there is a cooldown on Remedy so if it cancels I can't use it until the cooldown is up making me pretty much unable to heal at times.

I suggest that you allow spells that issue commands to summons not cancel spell channeling for druids such as Remedy since it is the pet attacking after all not the druid and I see no reason why the entire party should be penalized for changing targets on his wolf forcing him to cancel his heals.

Dude, you should comment it on this topic http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...ias-1-2-yes-im-not-joking-196148/index19.html

And do not create topics for every suggestion that you have.

Unfortunately, I can not change anything about that, as the wc3 spell engine doesn't allow issueing orders during spell channeling.
I recently changed the AI behaviour of the pet so that the pet attacks targets within a certain range automaticly if it was issued to attack once. I hope this will improve the situation a little.

Can't you do that with the Channel abillity? If you cross the part that says something about Disable other Abillities..?

I dont see a clean solution either, but i guess reducing duration, cooldown and manacost of the spell would help a bit.

As I set I altered the AI of the pet for the upcoming version. Should be much better now. It doesn't fix the problem with claw strike either, but I think thats just fine.
