Hold right mouse key and press "a" or "d".

hmm this seems fixed on EU servers

It does indeed work tested it about 1minute ago :]

Yea can't get it to work D:

Just tested on US server- does work and even works every time... the problem is you actually interrupt your first cast to be able to cast while running. so if you are worried about doing the most dps on the move you might as well just wait the extra 0.2 secs to finish that first cast, then run to where you need to be and start a new cast there. Looks cool but really limited usage- maybe for pvp, but for pve its useless.

If it doesn't work for you, you should check if you've got the addon called "SnowfallKeypress". It doesn't work with snowfall on Just turn it off and try again

Works fine with Snowfallkeypress.

Awesome! I can confirm that it works with SnowfallKeyPress, and that it only works when 'mouse strafing'.
I have 14 ms, but I doubt the ping changes anything else than when you need to start casting the second spell.

Seems like old bc bug coming back. YouTube - Buddhist presents Motion Casting

[Fayde]

Are you supposed to move and cast the next spell at the same time or first cast the new spell and then move?

[makulu]

197 ms here, works allmost every time with Holy Light ;p
Thanks! +rep

[Sprackle]

45ms here with snowfall works fine

[mmownerr]

This actually has a use in some cases. Lets pretend you are a warlock on haleon 2nd phase and you somehow loose your pet (its dies) now if you're not demon spec, the cast time is very long, and as you know on phase 2 you have to move to avoid the beams. Now all you have to do is start the SB cast, then interrupt it with sumon pet spell and start running.

Profit.

What i'm trying to say is that there is no difference wich spell you use after your first one to do the trick.

I'm sure every class will find their own way to use this bug

Just a step by step for you:

1) Start casting your first spell, must be longer than 1.5s
2) Depending on your latancy at around 80-85% press your second move (the move you want to cast while moving)
3) A Split second after you press your second move start strafing using Right Mouse + A or D and dont stop.

For me, the way i figured it out was to try casting my second move at certain points of the caster bar starting from 50% or so. I Used the letters of the spell as a reference point, for example if i started my 2nd cast when the 1st cast of Incinerate was jut past the final E of Incinerate it worked.

I did get it to work a couple of times using Immolate (1.34s cast) which is below the GCD, however i could no do it often, it seemed to be pure luck when it worked. When using Incinerate i can do it 4/5 times every time.

I did this with ~175ms lag



A Warning: I know of 3 people who used this in arena / bg all 3 are now the recepients of a 3 day ban.

I just managed to do this after rereading the info over for the fifth time heres what caught me and maybe some of you as well.
STRAFE

this word mislead me u HAVE to USE A or D in conjunction with clicking i failed to replicate this using Q and E default strafing

Hold right mouse
cast (insert spell)
press (insert spell 90% into first cast
immediately press and hold D or A

hope it helped
