Fizzling an instant cast spell is locking out the entire spell bar

Thanks will take a look, you might find using a clicky spell frees it up again in the meantime but will try and see what the issue is and fix.

Actually the clicky thing doesn't help either. It seems the spell bar gets locked up for the amount of recast time for the instant cast spell. This might be a client thing, not sure, but for simplicity I'll just change it so that instant cast spells can't fizzle. Will be in next update.

Triggering the "spell recast time not yet met" msg on these still yields a complete spell bar lockout.

How are you triggering that? Do you mean when you try and cast an item that isn't ready yet?

I can't quite put my finger on it. If I remove Avine, The Fragmented Star and Vulthrix, The Warden's Whip from my casting script, then the problem vanishes. It's something to do with casting the item or spell right before the respective other. I suspect my shooting script combined with my ping aggravates the issue, as in it's trying to fire the item or spell a microsecond before they are actually ready, hence forcing the msg. I have to really be mashing keys for it to happen naturally.

Odd thing...
Because of the direction this class just got steered, these items not firing has no effect on my own personal wizard dps. None of my feelings of relief and outright freakin glee over the changes can mask this spell linkage issue though. Hope this tick isn't buried too deep.

Thanks for the details, I can try with those items and see what I can find.

This should be fixed in the next update. To recreate this, the spell on the item has to be the same as the spell on the gem bar. If the item is clicked then it sets the spell recast timer of the spell so when the gem of the same spell was clicked straight after it was returning the spell recast not met yet.

I added the fix and could no longer recreate so hopefully that's sorted it for the next patch (probably on monday).

Thanks.

It's nice to have other clickies back to normal too.
