So let's say I do start pulling with clinging darkness or disease cloud. They have 1.5- and 1.8-second casts, respectively.
It is still going to happen, now and again, that someone else and I are both starting our casts within a second or two of each other. AKA the casts are happening close enough together that they are both going to go off. And when my spell lands, it is going to pull aggro off of the low-level mage nuke or proximity or whatever.
And I'm still going to get people complaining, cause while I'm running off with the cyclops, they're going to be looking at their combat log until they see that they actually started the original cast .1 seconds before I did, and that their initial cast finished .1 seconds before mine did.
But see the problem here? Regarding their cast starting first... I get told I'm a whiner when I point out that it's stupid that I don't get credit for being the first to engage something until my spell FINISHES... I get told I'm a baddie because I want to pull with cascading darkness instead of disease cloud... but other people are going to bitch that my disease cloud landed after their whatever but I still got aggro. Zomg killstealer!
And regarding their cast LANDING first, it just isn't fucking realistic to expect me to sort that shit out while I'm playing the game.
So you guys are gonna say "just be an adult about it and share kills!"
I'm willing to do that, but no one else is. That's why everyone except me pulls shit with level 1 spells or a sow'ed pet, because they can't fucking let a single kill get away from them.
I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't. Someone is going to bitch no matter what I do.
Basically it's like I said before. 90% of the time I cast cascading on something and it actually goes off, I was going to get that seafury anyways, because if I were using clinging/disease cloud my spell would have landed 2 seconds before yours did anyways.
