Hi all, I just started being a staff ele about a few weeks ago and im having some trouble as when i comes to casting with staff. I love using staff as an elementalist, my favorite weapon so far even though it gets hard counter by a few class, but something about it is just weird.

When im casting at times, it would just stop and go on cooldown. This happens a lot and its kind of starting to bug me in PvP. Not the full cooldown, but a short one. Sometimes when im even mashing a skill it wont cast. Im not being dazed btw. I am surely positive that im not being dazed everytime it happens.

Anyone used to have this issue and found a way to fix it or geting around it?

Meteor is canceled when you move, and starting some other skills mid channel can cancel the first one. Also, are you pressing escape or your stow weapon button accidentally? These could all be cancelling your skill.

It could also be thief’s pistol 4, that daze is so brief, it’s easy to miss.

If you are using a targeted skill (like air 2), it will go on a short CD (similar to being dazed) if your target is behind you by the end of the cast.

in some cases skills are interrupted while you are moving

Ah ok, i do actually move quite a lot when im casting cause if not id be a sitting duck. Sad to hear moving around stops casting :/ .

Also yeah, Ive been usually speed spamming my keys to get the spell out right after the next, didnt know that would stop casting either.

I barely use air 2 but i guess i should start >_< . Thanks guys.
