Channeling mechanic?
Anything said about this?
In traditional games, you can get disrupted while "channeling " your skill. Is it the same here? Last bumped on Aug 31, 2016, 12:59:39 PM

" Yup, you'll stop chanelling, if you get stunned, frozen etc. | |
Patch notes got updated:

" This is how those skills currently work, so it's not a change. Also, it is how (almost) every other skill works as well. So I don't know what they mean by 'unlike other skills'. Unless they mean the animation is slightly different. " This is how those skills currently work, so it's not a change. " This is how those skills currently work, so it's not a change. " Afaik, this is a slight nerf to those skills. Face it, all of your suggestions are worse than this idea:

" I think, they do this to emphasize the "single chanelling" = "single use" mechanic. Similar to how they write "This is a buff." after lines that are obviously buffs :). | |
Yeah, I interpreted that bit the same as PaperRat.
I also don't think it's really meant to be a big Change (TM) to how these Skills work, but instead just a bit of... tidying up how they work? More from a technical standpoint than a practical one. Additionally, it might be more relevant for the unreleased Channeling Skills, but that doesn't seem too likely to matter. | |
Well, I won't be able to use 2 fully charged Flameblasts in a row with my char now (because it will be cancelled after I reach zero mana), unless I will invest much more into mana regen, get more mana or free some reserved mana.
It's clear nerf at least for Flameblast. Last edited by SunL4D2 on Aug 31, 2016, 7:22:31 AM

Wither was a channeling skill like flameblast and incinerate?
I had that skill always on a totem but i was under the impression that there was no channeling involved. | |
Prior to 2.4.0, "Channeling" mostly meant "incompatible with Echo and triggers, special cast animation", which does include Wither. Channeled Spells can be totem'd just fine.
e; I never said Totems knew how to use these Skills :P Last edited by Vipermagi on Aug 31, 2016, 7:58:40 AM

"Effects which trigger when you use a skill will only trigger when you initially start channelling - regardless of how long you maintain a channelled skill, it's still the same use of the skill. You need to stop channelling if you want to use it again."
What effects of importance are we talking about? |
