Must be standing to cast
 

Err, wasn't expecting this one. Didn't play a caster on live so it's new to me.

Apparently I've gotten into the bad habit of using the spell bar directly quite a lot. I guess just creating a keyboard shortcut that I need to hit before any cast while medding is the best way to deal with this?

I thought about using a vertical hotbar and mapping the spell bar to each button (with /stand and /cast #), but the bars aren't the same size so they wouldn't line up. I do use a few vertical hotbar button macros for some spells which are usually in fixed positions (mez, slow, etc), but many others get swapped out so it doesn't like a complete solution.

Or you could move forward and then cast.

Is this truly the classic way? I always remember being able to just Alt+#spell & it auto standed to cast as far back as Kunark... but idk if original.

You use the mouse to click the spell bar???

Ahh cool, didn't know about that, thanks!

I'm still waiting for simulated lag, high ping, random disconnects. Because you know, this is about the bad parts of classic also, not creating an enjoyable experience. At least we get server outages with incorrect times and no updates, so that's a start.

this is amazing

Confirmed not classic!

Moving forward to auto stand is also not classic. I hope that fix is in the pipes.

We are getting really classic with the mechanics of late. I approve.

I bet you could play EQ blind. Not everybody has that impressive of neck beard.
