Game Mechanics: soulfire should be usable

i cant believe they allow this on blue. along with recharging and the ability to duck cancel cast, seems like blue is a little too ez mode. nawwutimeen?

Why is duck cancel cast not allowed on Red? It is annoying as hell when you click the wrong spell gem on a 5+ second spell.

** Gameplay Changes **

- Spell and Item Interruption: Ducking will now interrupt a spell
instantly. You will no longer be able to sit while using items or
casting spells. This will not affect bard songs, which will still work
as they always have, but will affect all items, even those with song-
like effects.

playing on blue is like playing as jill valentine on resident evil 1.
red is chris redfield obviously.

You could duck as early as may or june 1999. Before that, i was just moving back and forth when i was trying to interrupt a spell until someone told me that i could just duck (/d). What the patch from june 2001 did was stopping people from meditating while using items with a casting time (especially the nuke sticks and robes).

The key is instant interrupt versus cancelling a spell after the full cast time lapses. You could duck mid-cast before this patch and un-duck before the spell finished to allow the spell to complete. If you were ducked at the end of the cast time, then the spell would not complete.

Darn, you're right [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
