Winds of Asterkarn failing to begin channeling again after being hit

Grim Dawn Bug Reporting

I noticed that sometimes, when the character gets hit by an attack that interrupts the channeling of WoA (like a charge or kriegs aether stomp), if you try to channel the skill again, the character starts the casting animation but gets stuck repeating the starting cast animation in a “stuttering” manner dealing no damage and restarting the cast animation over and over again even without being affected by slows or interrupts or any debuffs at all, making so I keep having to press and release the skill button over and over until the spell starts channeling again.

Yeah it is not as “smooth” as drain essence or albrecht aether ray, more clunky like eye of reckoning

Definitely!

I personally think that WoA needs the EoR treatment (CC protection while channeling), but also getting more improvements mechanically and defensively.

I intend to write a feedback thread on how my experience was playing with awakened eastern set and Winds of asterkarn evoker. tl,dr: WoA needs to gets max radius quicker in order to take advantage of the chance to reduce cdr on TSS. Casting TSS makes you stop channeling so it is kinda annyoing and non-fun (and dangerous) to try to stay in the face of the boss 24/7. Like when it gets max radius the cooldown of TSS would be reset anyway :stuck_out_tongue: I am fine with reducing the dmg of the skill but please let it get to max radius faster!

Just played with the spell a bit some more and this faillure to restart channeling also happens sometimes rigtht after I use evade.

Maybe it is connected to wereraven form, as it sometimes doesn’t attack destructibles with ‘move to break objects’. The character just stands there looking at destructible doors/walls or pondering at heroic spoils orbs until I cast something to break them.

I had a potentially similar issue for Bone Harvest that I reported a couple days back here. Sometimes my skill wouldn’t continue casting if held down or right after evading or kind of stutter. Disabling Classic Targeting seemed to help for some reason, if you are using that. It’s on the first settings tab. If not, sorry! It really sucks when your attacks are not reliable and I am lucky I found a solution because it was driving me nuts.
