If you ground target and you walk through the purging flames, it does not remove any conditions. Though if you are in the purging flames when it goes off you will remove conditions. Is this intended?? https://youtu.be/dqhuvl3uElY

Yeah this has been a thing for awhile.

It used to be that enemies would get burned/you would lose 1 condition every time you moved in to purging flames. They changed it like a year ago to be that when the skill is cast everyone in the area gets burned/3 conditions removed, and after that it only reduces incoming condition duration.

Just seems annoying since I don’t want to stand still while using it. Where before it would go to where I was, and now if I move out for some reason before the 3/4 cast time (which is unlikely but possible) I don’t get any condition removal.

Now I’m forced to have ground targeted… That’s what changed…

You know you can double click/double press ground targeting abilities and they will cast centered on you right?

Not with hotkeys, I ain’t about that skill clicking life.

Double press your hotkey.

If my mouse is not right on top of my character or I have swiftness I can move out of it before it goes off.

Default ground targeting on some consecrations is cool… but not this one. Really the targeting system should let us “lock” specific skills to be always cast on us (while leaving other skills we choose “unlocked” so we can ground target).

That just casts @ mouse location. Does not work to cast on self without deliberately making sure the mouse is on me or on some UI element like the map (which is an invalid place to cast, so it casts on me by default).

I was under the distinct impression that using a mouse to click skill bars was not the method used by superior/serious players. It is certainly not what I have ever done, as when I first started mmo play many years back I tried both hot keys and click. On any game with more than a simple console game level bar with more than 8-10 skills it really becomes impossible for me. And I found just preferred hot keys all around.
I am sure younger and more gifted ‘clickers’ prefer that, and doubtless beat me up constantly. Like the devs I watch clicking doing demos on twitch, and I guess they would know, doubtless all being champion gamers to get the jobs they have.

I did test it out (double click to cast centered) and sure enough it works, and at least that gives me a work around I might be able to learn.

So seriously, Thanks! for the heads up Mallis.
