I have had a few times when clanking that my rejuvenate/restore etc didnt cast properly, the purple bar only half fills and then the spell is canceled. what is canceling my spell? is it that the spell is interupted bu the 20 mobs attacking me? if so is it related to the damage recieved or the number of hits recieved? or is it interupted by pressing another key or something?

it is a pain when my spells wont fully cast!

on another note, what is peoples best heal chain? i find rejuvenate takes a second to resolve, so find something like heal-rejuvenate-restore-heal works nicely (except for when the cast doesnt fully complete).

Are you moving at all when you cast? Sometimes when I'm trying to click a mob I misclick and hit the ground. It makes you move slightly, but it will cancel the spell. Mobs attacking you shouldn't cancel the spell.

Are you switching targets? For example, if you're in a party with a couple people and start casting Rejuv on the first then switch to heal the second, the Rejuv will cancel.

I don't have a "Heal-chain" per se. It depends on how hard my party's getting hit. If they're getting hit way too much, I'll try to steal a bit of aggro with Awaken. But only enough to give my party some time to get refocused. Mostly it's Restore at the start, Heal, Rejuv, Heal with a Quicken of Invince somewhere in there.

thanks, it must be that i'm changing targets a lot. i sometimes switch targets ready for the next spell, and had thought it'd be fine to simply wait for the casting bar before using the next skill.

Got hit by that too.
For restore I wait until the icon appear before switching target.
Its a pain...

I never have the problem with rejuvenate, I can cast it while running and have no problems. However, when casting Restore, you must stand still and wait until the bar is full.

And as for the heal chain, mine is a simple heal-restore-heal-rejuve-heal-restore-heal-recover-heal-restore-heal-rejuve-heal-restore-heal. Gets the job done and sometimes takes aggro off the tank too. :P Maybe that is why parties hate me so much.

For those having problems with restore....there is an aoe healing over time skill called Invigorate.....in which you can cast it while running.....but you'll tend to miss if you try to cast it on someone who is running in front of you.....especially if you're supporting a kiting archer.....

If you're following a kiting archer and want to hit him/her with Invigorate, aim further ahead? That's what I do.

Invigorate's not until 79, so players will have to bear with Regen until then.

I find if I try to use another skill before that bar has completely filled and disappeared it will cancel the skill.

Weird...whenever I do that, my next skill goes after my current one is finished. Not only for my cleric but for all my characters.
