Please tell me spell casting is nothing like DAoC. Will I be able to cast while in combat and getting hit or will i have to start firing from a mile away like DaoC? Also, can you cast on the run? Do you have to sit to regen?
Thanks

oh come on someone has to know. If Magic and casters are anything like DAoC then I need to know if I should order this thing. Ive searched the Warhammer site and couldnt find any info.
You can cast while getting hit.

it's more of a WoW style of casting.

Guys! I'm hopelessly lost in a mountain of mole hills! Them damn moles!
From the videos I have seen it is more like WoW's casting than DAoC. You aren't interupted (unless maybe the stun or something I'd assume) but also I didn't see an increase in casting time while being hit like in WoW. I might've over looked it but I also haven't played the game yet either. But I can say that i'm 99% sure one slight hit will not interupt your cast like DAoC.
Thats great, Thanks guys.. lookign forward to this game even more now.
Dont know but I can throw axes while running.
Abilities have varying casting times depending on how powerful they are. Direct heals/Damage generally have a few seconds delay, while HOT's/DOT's are instant. But also, there are mechanics in place where you can build up magic of one side or another to give insta-casts to spells that normally take a while. Also morale effects that are insta-cast, but have a 1 minute cooldown.
Regardless, if you get hit, it simply resets the timer a little bit, depending on damage and how often. A 2 second spell can turn into a 8 second spell if you're getting beatdown, but you'll eventually get it off.
