steady aim and rapid shot spell effects

Hi there

We have removed the spell animation for Steady aim and rapid shot for the next patch - this means the skills will cast a bit faster as you won't have to wait for the animation, but it also means that the skill won't have any casting animation attached to this. So it may not look as good when casting, anyone mind about that?

Thanks!

If rapid casts faster I won't mind not seeing an animation. I usually cast bolas/rapid and the few seconds animation can mean a few lost shots. I'm all for it.

This is wonderful news.

A very much welcomed buff to these two abilities.

No more "spell casting was interrupted!"

I am very glad this is happening, especially for rapid shot because the spell only lasts for a few seconds...probably wont be as big a deal for steady aim though. But thanks for this, admin :)

Hey there, just to clarify, you will still get interrupts but the overall delay between casting and being able to use the skill will be reduced, because the time that was taken up by the animation will now be gone.

Also we've changed rapid shot so you can use it with a spear, I hope that works out OK and helps a bit.

Thanks!

Cool!
And could you possibly make sharp shot maybe turn into sharp strike wen using a spear?

i don't like the animation when hitting something because it takes tooo long to hit them
