How is precog still triggered by kicking channeled spells

And it doesnt interrupt thee spell? Lol like

Juke bots prob

So what Im referring to is when a kick is used on someone actively channeling a spell and the spell continues to be channeled and they get precog on top of it

Are you also referring to a mw monk by chance?

This isn’t a thing. Unless you’re seeing people pop aura mastery mid cast. Mw, rsham, etc.

he might be referring to people faking missiles.

Like /stopcasting during.

Though I’m unfamiliar with arcane and I swear I’ve kicked them mid channel and it still precogs and keeps firing. I think it has sometimes to do with clipping the cast into the next one…unsure how that works or how do it but I feel like I’ve seen it often and didn’t understand it as well

Kicking into mw focus tea should precog and keep the cast going? I forgot but thought so

Well ya you can see aura mastery on the tea crackle.

Arcane is the one that channels alot and I think i understand what hes referring too.

See missiles firing, kick it and he gains cog and the cast bar is still showing missiles firing. I do /stopcast on mine to trickle tick and bait but

I swear I’ve seen the cast bar channeling missiles and kicked it and cogged them and it continues. I think something to do with clipping the cast with next charge of missiles or something.

Idk how its done or how do it but i swear i’ve seen that same interaction and was like ???

IE he has 3 charges of missiles, you go to kick first cast but he happened to clip it with 2nd and the kick registered as first but not second even though the cast bar moved continously and now he has precog off it. No clue how that interaction works.

Will see if he responds again but believe I’ve also seen exactly what you’re talking about. I also think it’s happened a few times with penance too. Wow memory is lacking haven’t played in a couple of days.

Well with penance i get the stop cast and the bolts fire after the cast a few trickle bolts similar to missiles right.

Missiles can have multiple charges stored and I swear its some interaction with spamming all 3 and clipping the casts.

Like on your screen he’s firing infinite missile streams and you lob a kick but the cast was clipped somewhere and you kicked somewhere in between the clipped cast even though visually and on cast bar hes been channeling missiles without interruption yet he gets precog off it.

It doesn’t look at all like /stopcast trickle missile baiting and penance but something else entirely.

It’s definitely a thing, there are other posts about this same issue

i’ve never personally seen this

arcane mages and mw are notorious for stopcasting and shaman/mw can aura mid cast fwiw

empowered spells lag on some addons (neatplates and neatplates adjacent)

maybe you’re experiencing something here?

Do you know anything about missile clipping and kick landing inbetween giving cogs even tho it looks like one continious?

I’m jw if thats a thing or not or if its stopcasting missiles at a faster pace and further in cast and restarting it sooner.

I swear it looks like full channels tho giving cog. I don’t have any arcane mains on tag or i’d just ask them if its stop casting or clipping missile casts

Which spell did you kick when this happened? I’ve seen it several times while playing my rsham. Someone tries to kick my lightning lasso, and it gives me precog without interrupting the channel.

The thing is it’s not a stopcast
It goes like this
SP starts casting void torrent > gets kicked > precog gets triggered, cast continues
No aura mastery, no holy priest sanc, nothing

I’m playing sp and it never happen to me ever.

I juke with penance sonetimes if i see theyre waiting for it.

Seeing other people be confused on what’s happening isn’t proof it’s a thing though. I’ve never seen it. People can aura mastery during casts or can fake and re-channel a cast and it may seem like something it’s not.

Of course I understand “I’ve never see it” doesn’t exact disprove its existence either however knowing how the game works and having played my fair share of games, I’m inclined to side with logic on this one.

This literally only happens if you kick into aura mastery.

If you saw this happening, it’s because you misplayed.

Well you can’t spellqueue off of channeled casts so there’s going to be some level of gap inbetween the Missile cast and the next spell plus they may have a different level of latency to you. On use items also can’t be spellqueued so that may be responsible for creating gaps where precog could be getting registered.

The other thing with Missiles is that Clearcasting benefits from pandemic when you cast Missiles back to back, apart from that there’s nothing specific to Arcane and interrupt immunities native to the spec.
