Quick cast its pretty good

It’s in the game. You have to set it manually in the Gameplay section of the preferences panes. It’s controlling toggle is directly beneath the toggle to enable Quick Cast. Be warned though that toggling this shows all bound keys, whether they are used by quick cast or not. A more streamlined approach would be to only show the icons for skills specifically enabled for quick cast, but since it’s currently all or nothing, it shows them all. Hopefully that gets refined in a near future patch to reduce lost screen real estate.

You’re the one misreading things. It’s in the game. The visual toggle for keybinds above the primary skill bar isn’t for quick cast specifically in its current form, it’s for all binds, and as I noted, it is in fact in the game. The person you quoted, twice now, is correct in how quick cast actually works. You are not. It works exactly as he describes: you set a keybind of your preference to a skill, and when the quick cast toggle is enabled, pressing that button will cast the assigned skill (temporarily overriding your RMB skill icon for a split second to indicate you’re quick casting a skill) and then you instantly regain use of the RMB again to cast the skill that was occupying it before you used a quick cast ability.

Note: There is also a bug where using quick cast with any ability will stop movement. You have to click-hold to move again after the quick cast ability fires off. There is also a secondary bug wherein if your quick cast skill has a cooldown and fails to successfully cast for any reason, you trigger the skill’s cooldown even if it didn’t go off. You can cast it again via the regular keybind > RMB method, but if you try the quick cast method, that skill will fail to activate until its normal cooldown period is over.

Thank you I have not got the time for this today so ill leave you to it. Your doing a fine job +1 :slight_smile:

They never advertised it as automatic.

Right there in the patch notes. Not automatic. Requires being enabled.

From the actual preview blog:

You’re batting zero, sluggo. If you can’t keep up with two week old preview notes and the patch notes that came out with the client updtae, it’s time to go back to the minor leagues.

You’re the ONLY one having difficulty with this.

I love players who fail on all ends to take the actual announcement and show it because they cannot stand to be proven wrong. They’re taking the after the fact knowledge they currently have and trying to pass it off onto and into a place it doesn’t apply because they couldn’t have known about it at that time.

They can only use this now because they know about it, They’re now trying to use this to say it was explained. That wasn’t the advertisement so they wouldn’t have known where to start looking.

Shut up none of you know anything about this so just stop.

Patch notes which contain exactly what I posted.

Preview Blog containing exactly what I posted right after that.

Boom. Head shot.

Sorry pal but You had no concept that even exists because what you posted didn’t exist at the time it was advertised so there is no possible way you would have know to look where you just pulled it from.

You’re taking knowledge you have NOW and trying to apply it to a situation it never existed in and then trying to say there is the information.

Nothing is mentioned for you to even know where to begin looking

so quit acting like it’s talked about and or mentioned…you’re pathetic you didn’t know that information was there before hand because no one knew as it was never even mentioned.

He quoted from this blog article. But you knew that.

The link to this was pinned to the top of the General Forum from November 18 until December 2, and can still be found by scrolling.
Stop with your faux indignation; it’s pathetic.

That isn’t a valid reply because it’s a well known fact that game devs announce things and never see it through all the time so what you replied with isn’t valid or credible in any way it means nothing.

those are also not the released patch notes. and the current released patch notes that count don’t even have the word manual in it anywhere, never mind what you’re all trying to push

Typical Stanner response; get proven wrong, babble some nonsense in return.

And yet, all of the people foolishly trying to explain this to you SOMEHOW figured it out.

But you can’t.

The problem here is YOU, buddy.

It’s interesting how you will refuse to go to the launcher and click wher e it says patch notes, and scan through it for the word manual yet you will continueposting your nonsense about how I’ve been proven wrong…

How did you prove me wrong when The word manual isn’t anywhere in the current patch notes and to see this all anyone has to do is go to the blizzard launcher, click patch notes and see it first hand it’s not in there

Once again people on this forum spreading misinformation and lies…

Tias highlighted the relevant paragraph from the blog article, and I posted the link to the full article when you essentially called his post fake news.
The article was posted on November 18, and a link to the article was pinned to the top of the General forum at 1pm EST on November 18.

The relevant paragraph in that article says we’ll need to enable the option. Anyone with two brain cells would interpret that as “manual.”
You seem to be the only one struggling with that.

The patch notes, which are also pinned to the top of the forum, tell us where to go to enable the option.

You do NOT need the word “manual” in order to grasp that what they are telling us is that we need to manually enable the option in game settings, unless you are a simpleton.

ERGO, you are wrong.

I love how you’re not only NOT using the patch notes to prove your argument, but also Trying to tell me that this random article, is supposed to known and read by everyone. That isn’t how it works there…

Furthermore the blog or article is nothing but preliminary which means no official decision has been made and it’s just talk so it has no actual substance or worth.

The current patch notes are the only thing that matter so it’s irrelevant what is in the blog. the bottom line is this, The devs didn’t mention anything about this having to be manually turned on anywhere in the current patch notes. If it’s not in the current patch notes then it doesn’t matter what any of you are saying.

You also keep trying to say the word manual is in the patch notes when it’s not.

You are such a bad-faith actor…

As I said, the patch notes are pinned to the top of the forum.

These ARE the actual and current patch notes, Brightboy.
The launcher is not the only place to view them.

The blog article states that we will be empowered to enable the option.
Nothing changed since the option was first mentioned in the article.
The actual and current patch notes state that we can now enable the option:

You simply can’t read if you see that I said the word “manual” in is the article patch notes.
“Players can now enable…” means that we have to manually switch the option on, in the game settings.

Why don’t you go do that, instead of being purposely disingenuous and obtuse?

i would suggest not responding to stanner and just flagging his posts he is just trolling and spreading misinformation to get a reaction out of people he has quite a few accounts he does this on.

easy way to fix this issue is use left and right mouse buttons to replace scroll wheel up or down and D and set the scroll wheel you didn’t use on left/right to D then turn on quick cast same number of spells no need for the scroll wheel assignments.

for instance blizzard on right mouse button, fireball on left mouse and firewall on D then use quick cast and you will always have them on left and right when not using another spell.

Gotta love how each and every one of you are purposely ignoring every thing I’m saying. Because none of you have a way to argue around the current patch notes I said to use, you searched for a set you want to use just so you might have a way to argue around me. That isn’t how its’ going to work.

if you are goingt o converse with me on this then you are going to use what I said to use, not whatever you feel like just so you can have an out…

See I very, very, specifically stated 4 times go to the current patch notes I SAID which are found by going to the launcher and clicking PATCH NOTES. and instead of doing that, what did you do, ignored it and did whatever you felt like it. Does not matter what is pinned on the forum or what you claim That is the only patch notes you are going to use when talking to me about this is the ones I said to use, not what is here on the forum, and not some article you keep trying to peddle.

If you do not use the current patch notes i said to use, then I do not care what you have to say. and you have no credible replies.

I actually don’t think he is trolling.
I think he is just such a clueless malignant narcissist that he believes he is correct about everything he spouts off about, and simply can’t stand to have his beliefs challenged.

no he is trolling he even has fights with himself (on different accounts) when he isn’t getting enough attention. He is just a needy child who’s parents didn’t care enough for him.
