Void blast acting buggy for anyone else?

I’m at the target dummies going through my rotation and I often notice that when void blast comes off cooldown, I start pressing the ability, but it doesn’t always cast?

Im definitely in shadow form and I definitely have a target. It’s like my character will start to make the animation, but won’t cast. Then once the rift collapses, it will let me cast a regular mind blast.

I haven’t noticed this in bgs or arenas since I never get to free cast, but if I were doing keys or a boss, this would be a major issue. Is anyone else experience this?

Does it happen when Entropic Rift is about to expire within 1-1,5 seconds? I think I experienced something similar but only when the Rift was about to collapse.

Yes, but if the rift is still open, then I don’t see why there should be a problem casting an ability that I’m supposed to be casting during rift.

I was hitting the target dummies as voidweaver disc and noticed void blast was being weird but I guess it was a lag thing not a game issue.

I also have very high haste and was using the trinity pvp talent.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe that the tier set doesn’t just reduce the cast time but also reduces the GCD when you void blast correct? If not or if there is a big there might be weird interactions between high haste the cast speed reductions and the GCD cap.

Oh wait, I think we need to clarify one thing. Are you referring to Retail or did you experience it on the Beta?

I had this issue on the Beta.

Retail. When PvP stats kick in, I have like 37% haste

I bet it has something to do with your rift only having 1 - 1.5 ish seconds left, but that not being enough time for you to finish a voidblast cast, so the game might be wigging out at the spell changing back mid cast when the rift collapses

That would be my guess. I’ve experienced this when I play shadow sometimes but I never really payed attention to it that much.

I’ve also had instances where I was casting a voidblast just as my target died. My cast stopped, then my rift collapsed, but mind blast remained as void blast for a few seconds and I could cast it without an active rift

It’s weird

Do you use channeling / nochanneling macros?

If so, they’ve been bugged since 11.2.

I use the macro where you can explode the rift on command, but I’m not sure if that falls under a channeling macro, as I don’t know what that is
