ducking to stop casting shouldnt be in game yet

Hot keys when you're casting don't work unless you click the button.

Unless I'm doing it wrong it is not possible to send your pet in to attack while casting without clicking it.

I'm not sure how it worked in classic.

You'll notice there's a number of different things you can do with clicks or typed commands that won't work with hotkeys depending on what you're doing. Usually it's targetting stuff. You can't click the mouse on a target or use F keys to change NPC or PC targets while in mid cast (although I think you can while doing bardsongs), but you can click on your UI to get a target change to self or a groupmember. I can't think of too many examples off the top of my head... targetting is the big one, and the one yum said.

You can also F8/F7 to acquire a new target -- useful for hybrid tanks imo, since there's no extended target window. You can also use the NPC cycle key.

As a Mage you also learn pretty quickly that /pet go away needs to be clicked if you're casting a new pet.


I died probably 5 times because of this before I learnt it.
