so i'm running my ACM in fiuns, but for whatever reason, about 1/10 fiuns when they approach me, i fire a war spell as usual, but its like the war spells fails.


my guy goes through the motion, but no sparkly magic comes out. he'll pause for a bit, then try casting it again with the same problem.


i've found that if i move him slightly at the end of his cast (pressing the right arrow key works best) the projectile spell will launch about 2-3 seconds after his cast finishes.


i think this is classified as holdcasting, but i am not sure as i'm very new to magery.


the workaround i have in place to for my guy to cast ring spells whenever there's 2+ fiuns on me. so when that one fiun makes my guy stick casting the same spell until i move him manually... when a second fiun finally joins in, i ring and they die.


is there something in the settings i should be changing to avoid this complication?

I don't think this is a lifetank issue. Maybe more of a mage issue. War Magic can "misfire" when a mob is really close to you. You should even get a message saying the spell misfired.

Its a ltx issue. It does it on many mobs. Usually its the smaller mobs like in tusker barracks. I reported this on the ltxi forums a while back.

Is turbo on? If it is, try turning it off.

I had the same problems in several dungeons. Turbo was never on.


If you want to reproduce the error take a mage into tusker barracks.

This has always been my experience, with or without Decal turned on. It happens even more when casting rings and a monster is really close to you, or if a friend/another player is standing too close/on top of you... the rings will almost always misfire and not cast.

but try it with ltxi running, you kill nothing for minutes at time because its just sitting there misfiring over and over again. I had to pause tank and fight manually. When I went manual I would occasionly get misfires, but with ltxi on, you get them constantly.


I reported all of this on the ltxi forums weeks ago. If you would actually go try it in tusker barracks you might see what we are talking about instead of guessing what the problem is.
