Game Mechanics: Bard casting bar disappearing.

[falkun]

I have a combo of buttons I push for BoH, one /stopcast and the other clicks the BoH. How could the spellbar stay greyed out with that? Also, can the BoH even miss a note?

Note my singing macros are all 2 lines: 1) /stopsong 2)/cast #

Here's a thread necro and a half for everyone.

This bug is still live and frustrating as hell. I've taken to using DuxaUI, which has a cast bar built into the target window. When the cast bar disappears, the name of the song stays if it's still casting at least.

I really, really hate this bug and wish it was fixed.

This can happen while I'm just fear kiting, playing snare-fear-chant-chant with a drum equipped. No procs. I'd say 1 in 10 casts at a minimum, sometimes more than that.

This bug has been around since I started playing on p99 back in april last year.

While I was trying to get a workaround for this problem I added "casting bar" UI items on the "Target" UI window by editing the XML files.

This means that if you leave a song running over a period of time; the name of the song playing shows in the Target Window; which is helpful if you have PBAE spells on your cast bar.

But it didn't solve the problem; it's not exclusively proc related because it happens with instruments equipped too.

I when I had BoH I used keypresses for it; one key for stop song and one key for BoH click; macroing stopsong was glitchy if a song was casting it wouldn't let you /stopsong for the first 10-15% of a song cast; where as stopsong keypress is always instant.

BoH can never miss a note because it's a instant click effect just like jboots.
