So...another halo animation change?

[anon5123]

i dont know if I want it to take up 2 gcds and a cast time. That is going in the wrong direction.

When did I ever mention "taking up 2 GCDs" ? The first cast would obviously not trigger the GCD, or trigger a very short (0.5s) GCD.

The point is to make it so that you can bring up the 25-yard ring, and then position yourself and hit the ability again to actually cast it.

what you just described is 2 gcds again.

i agree with the circle just being around you with a command as stated previously. but click- click-cast=halo no bueno.

Seriously? 0.5s is that important to you?

I would very gladly have "2 GCDs" spent if it meant being able to very easily maximize my Halo healing. Seriously, 0.5s GCD and then hitting the ability again. What's so bad about that?

Looks like a holy disc version, any chance at shadow?

That's actually pretty decent. Guessing they haven't implemented it for shadow because it's instant.

Afaik it doesn't have an animation for shadow.

There isn't one for shadow, most likely because it's instant cast.

[Shuffled]

I wish there was the option to just have the animation be always on if the spell is off cool down. Maybe a minor glyph?

That makes sense but sucks because theres still a need to optimize as shadow.

The only way I can see this working were if they were to make a similar range indicator pop up while you're in combat and the spell is off CD...which, imo would be pretty distracting and ugly. Stick to HaloPro or eyeball it.

I would probably do it on mouse-over or on mouse-down. Still tough though, there wouldn't be much time to react and reposition. I tend to find I can do it by eye fairly well anyway.

Nope it doesn't do anything for shadow, the indicator is only for healing specs.

sooo MEH...

Hmm, with a little practice it's really not particularly hard to do it 'by eye'. For perfectionists, there is always WA to play around with. I most certainly would not want to make casting it into a clunky, trap like, target and click mechanic. Chances of hitting everyone at exactly 25 yards are slim lol. People in raid don't line up for it Halo is one of the more interesting abilities in the game. If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

Yeah, usually eye it or the rangefinder on ElvUI nameplates

For clicking?

Well mouse-over would be, mouse-down (or key-down) would work for either.

Yeah that's what I was wandering. Although I think some people use the key down actuation thing.
