Chi getting eaten when mob dies?

So I had an issue while sage that if a mob died while i was channeling a nuke it would eat both sparks (or 1 if it 50% proc'd). I went demon like two weeks ago for giggles and I noticed it's not happening anymore. I asked another sage wiz friend and he says it still happens to him. Thoughts? o_O

    its not a sometimes thing tho. It would happen every time a mob died before I was done casting (made trials and delta suck sometimes, tw too when people would die before nuke would land). Its not happening now, though.


    Lol Sasu xD honestly I'm really glad to be demon. Because I'm mostly PVE I dont notice the lack of chi (i spam chi siphon in PVE so I can still cast all three nukes within 30 seconds without any apo). In PVE i hardly ever used sage BIDS coz i would always opt to stun any groups of mobs vs BIDS. Now I have emberstorm at my disposal to stun with and hailstorm is much higher proc rate (so I can hailstorm -> WotP without melee complaining as much). I also love Owellspring quaff and because of my better channeling I can spam d. pyro/ss/gsnare and build chi faster overall. Not to mention demon barrier kicks butt. xD

    Been noticing this since the update when the advanced morai skills came out. It used to be if the mob/person I was channeling a skill to hit died, the skill would just stop, and I'd still have my sparks to restart it with a different target. Now it stops, but my sparks go poof too..

    Yeah, have been for over a year, but it didn't start happening till the last morai update.

    Never an issue before, and some demon wiz's I know have noticed it too.

    and that is correct. even in pvp sometimes if the target goes out of range while im casting a chi-require ulti or a spell, the sparks go POOF and it doesn't hit either. didn't use to happen b4 but now it does. Its not just with wizards, with any class....like if barb is about to arma but i distance shrink away, their sparks go POOF and it also doesn't hit u =P

    Okay xD I just wanted to verify because I noticed it didn't happen in delta yesterday or the day before whereas it used to happen all the time. I do understand cancel cast was kind of a problem but this is a bad fix Dx

    I'm gonna quote myself from this thread:

    So, yesterday was my first TW after the latest content update and I noticed some changes when my ultis get interrupted.

    Before, when my target died or ran away while I was channeling an ulti (they're sage btw), sometimes the proc would trigger and I ended up with an extra spark in case of BT or MS, or the crit buff in case of BIDS. I've heard that you could do that on purpose back in the day.

    But this last TW, when the same stuff happened, I ended up consuming two sparks even if the skill was canceled during channeling and never went off, and without the proc either.

    I dont know if this was an intended "fix" like when they fixed CC or if they just screwed up, because it shouldn't consume sparks if it gets interrupted. b:surrender


    On a possitive and unrelated to this sub-forum note tho, they also fixed (yes, an actual fix b:shocked) tele-stun for sins and seekers. It used to leave you stuck where you landed and you had to either fly up, or do a normal tele in case of sins, and sometimes your target would get stunned but you stayed in your position. But now it works just fine on both the map and instances, no more getting stuck or stun w/o tele.b:victory

    So yeah... I hope it gets fixed in this new content update. b:surrender
