Closed Nighoo closed 12 years ago

Commit s1298 is wrong in mangos one. Triggering the GCD was no feature in TBC.

I used to swap my librams all the time. http://www.wowhead.com/item=33502/libram-of-mending#comments:id=185695

They did change it in2.4 so that you couldn't swap mid-cast. But you can swap before or after with no GCD.

Thanks for that info

Actually it was changed in 2.4.3, http://www.wowwiki.com/Patch_2.4.3 - "Equipping an item will now cancel any spell cast currently in progress."

Wonder if that works already

Reverted in [s1434] and therefore fixed. Thanks

Reopened due to Midna's PM:

Swapping relic/libram in combat should cause GCD.

You can however:
/cast spell
/equip other libram

as it should only create a GCD, not obay one in process.

I'm not sure if it is a global cooldown, but there is a pause that is created from switching relics in this manner while in combat. It is very annoying

Changing Idols triggers global cooldown. Global cooldown + instant casts = no thanks on this idol.

Beargrylls is correct; after changing weapons or relics, you get a 1.5 second global cooldown before you can cast anything afterwards. This is often neglible on spells with a cast time over 1.5 seconds, since you can swap items midcast, but since Rejuvenation and Lifebloom are instant cast, you would have to initiate the cooldown -before- you cast...meaning using the above stated macros will only slow down your casting, which can be very bad if you are maintaining Lifebloom on multiple targets.

However, if you're healing a single target and can easily take the time to swap idols, then by all means go for it.

Reverted revertion of GCD in [s1452]. Totem/Relic should indeed trigger GCD...
