I get that sometimes with Chaos Storm. I thought it was more a bug with my mouse driver and the mouse cursor getting stuck and then a delay in trying to re-position it.

I use fast casting at my mouse location… I have not run into this issue.

PS targeting too slow :P

Have you checked the option pannel to see if the fast casting for aoe was ticked or not? I guess you did already but better to mention it just in case.

OK, sorry guys. I had trouble reproducing the issue, so I deleted the original post and didn’t know the thread would stay.

Anyways, I’ve done some tinkering around and found out EXACTLLYYYY what’s going on here.

Basically it seems that Chaos Storm casts automatically without giving you the option to select the area of effect while switching to Staff and hitting ‘5’ while forward-rolling. You can reproduce it simply by running (holding W), rolling to the left or right (double-tap A or D), and pressing tilde (~) to switch to Staff and pressing ‘5’ for Chaos Storm while still in mid-roll.

This happens during combat sometimes and is pretty annoying when Chaos Storm just casts in a random location.

No, this option isn’t selected for me.

I’ve had this EXACT issue. Feels like every time I swap to staff, chaos storm gets cast without my input. Annoying as hell =/
