No global cool down on Curse of Agony (maybe other instant casts to)

So this does indeed not work?

Alright then, thanks for confirming.

If you still claim this works/does not work, provide a video with a closeup of action bars as well as a WWS/Grim Reaper log so we can see EXACTLY what happened.

Ok, I just unspec'ed my lock and tried this.

After some testing this is what I came up with...
On my screen it does appear than you can cast Coa while casting Corruption.

As soon as the first GCD is over for the initial corruption cast you can cast Coa and start its GCD (before the corruption is done casting).
So it LOOKS like on my screen that I am starting the Coa GCD .5 seconds before corruption is finished. Meaning I only have to wait half as long before my next cast.

BUT, I believe this may be associated with the new GCD system and the way it accounts for server lag. I only have a .1 latency though supposedly. So I can't explain why it would let me start the GCD for Coa so early.

Screenshot: As you can see by the red text it looks like (on my client) that all three were applied within the same second without having to wait for another GCD. But if you look at the white timestamp text from the server, it says I started casting them well within GCD limits.



Conclusion: New GCD system accounting for server/client lag. Easily mistaken for not having to wait for a GCD for someone who has more latency than me.

this silly thread reminds of a recent even sillier thread:

http://www.mmowned.com/forums/wow-ex...ast-twice.html

again it was some kind of "riddle" post that most couldnt figure out, claiming instant casts on frostbolts and such.

there the OP probably meant well but didnt know wth Quartz did or how it worked, and his trick was "when you get to the red part of the cast bar, you can cast your next spell! they will land at same time!" well duh, thats how quartz works... but no GCD is removed, the red portion of the bar simply shows what you lost initiating the first cast due to latency, so you can regain some of that lost time... just regain, you dont get free casts or no GCDs.

maybe thats whats going on here... yes kids if you got latency you can start your 2nd cast when the first is only halfway thru the cast bar, and yes various spells might seem to hit at once or go off instantly... but they dont. its just client side lag. the 1.5 sec GCD is always there and is not bypassable.
