Channeling Skills
Has there been any talk of including channeling movement skills? I think this would be particularly useful for movement abilities like Cyclone and Whirling blades.
EDIT: corrected my implication that NO channeling abilities exist. Last edited by leminlime on Jun 30, 2016, 5:31:44 PM Last bumped on Oct 28, 2016, 6:56:04 AM

" Lol touche. I suppose they have been implemented other places - what about channeled movement abilities though? | |
You cannot move, or do anything else while channeling, so Channeled move skills is kinda pointless.
Just need more movement speed. | |
" *Fixed that for ya. =D I would appreciate having more of them in the game, but they are hard to balance because you have to make them strong enough to justify being a stationary target, but not so OP that they overshadow all other skills. *coughEarthquakecough* Tired of trolls? Ignore them.

" Actually, in the case of Cyclone, it makes perfect sense that it should be a channeled skill, because it's so unintuitive in its current form. Most ARPGs with a similar spin-to-win skill are channeled, and that's what players expect/are used to. The fact that it's not that way in PoE feels a lot more that it has to do with implementation limitations from the game's early life than actual design decisions. Tired of trolls? Ignore them.

" This is what I'm getting at. I feel like movement abilities would feel a lot smoother as channeled abilities (obviously not teleport skills). | |
Channeled Cyclone would be a big QoL IMO as well. Since it can't multistrike as well its already suitable for channel-style attacks anyway.
Plus could let us just spin in place which is oftentimes the problem with cyclone in tight corridors. Just another Forum Signature in a Sea of Signatures.

It would make sense to make phase run channelled.
