Moving while casting

Man does it feel SO GOOD!

Mages and Shaman are so much more fun to play compared to other casters because of these abilities.

Wish more casters had the option to use cd’s/charges in a similar manner.

what can shaman cast while moving?

Everything. They have an ability that lets them cast while moving for a duration.

Mages have an ability with charges that lets them cast their next ability without moving.

Ghost Wolf and Totems. xD

Elemental doesn’t…? Instant cast procs isn’t ‘casting’

I miss the legendary boots that would let me cast while moving - It’s been super fun to be able to use them again in the anniversary raids

Correct - it’s a resto ability.

This is why I changed from shadow priest after years to bm hunter in bfa… feels amazing.

should just completely remove standing from the game. Would allow more dynamic mechanics for bosses and reduce amount of CC from casters in pvp because they would be able to move

So like how Levitate works for priests - but it’s effect is to allow movement casting?

yeah, charges of instant cast abilities and procs aren’t “casting while moving”. That’s just instant stuff. When you say “casting while moving”, people are thinking MoP class design where a lot of ranged could cast their filler/spam ability while moving.

Just to get it out of the way, I don’t think we should go back to that. It was fun, but it’s impossible to balance ranged vs melee if you let ranged do everything melee does but better because… range.

… and I think stuff like Spiritwalker’s Grace and Ice Flows or whatever it’s called and Presence of Mind are all enough. The latter 2 are just spec flavors of the same thing for mages. Spiritwalker’s Grace should probably be available to Elemental again though, at least as a talent. Boomkin and Priests both have 2 DoTs and probably don’t need the same type of cooldowns. Hunters are already mobile because Hunters. Warlocks can also be very DoTy, not sure how all of their specs work though tbh.

Idk why they removed this. Nearly every spec in the game now feels completely gutted from MoP.

Yup! Those two.

Wish they’d give the other casters similar abilities. Feels so fun to cast while moving.

Yes and no. We had this in MoP, when most casters could do a lot of cast-on-the-move stuff.

It got a bit out of hand.

Still, there is some room for improvement.

bm hunter is the best for on the move casting.

Not really a caster though.

best on the move ranged class bettter?

More like just ranged physical dps, where casters are generally ranged magic dps.

on the move RANGED dps as i said already.

are you just looking to argue today or something?

Don’t priests just have one dot that is insta?
