Wield Thunder question

I'm just wondering if this is a bug but when I cast WT on the ground the animation is really different than when i cast it in the air. When i cast it while flying it looks the way it is supposed to look. (with several bolts of lighting fanned out in the sky like tempest, while channeling the spell. Then the discharge of 1 bolts from you to your target)

But when i am on the ground and i cast the spell, I don't see the the fanned out lightning bolts be4 the main attack.

Can anyone explain?

    I have no clue but the exact thing happens to me; watch very closely and sometimes a lightning bolt or two will appear for half a second but not the whole light show appears.

    It's always been like this as far as I remember (mine is lv 8 for the record). I'm not sure if it's a "bug" or if it's just a perspective thing. Whenever I see others cast the spell I can see the bolts from the sky, just not when I do it myself.

    It's not a bug, it's lag and it happens on the air as well.

    That sucks :| but I don't have the problem in the air myself. Its only when im on land. Also if it was lag wouldn't it happen randomly and not all the time?

    Another also: b:chuckle If it was lag wouldnt Tempest "glitch" as well? from what I've heard this is only a Wield Thunder problem. (I can't test tempest yet) b:sad

    i've seen this problem too, with myself and other players. when i'm in a squad with a another cleric and they use wield thunder on mobs, i can see several bolts of lighting fanned out in the sky but not always when they do it again i won't be able too see it, instead it will only be one lightning bolt attacking the enemy.

    It fans out under water as well but I haven't taken notice of this although I mostly use mine in the air.
    Looking for a decent casual understanding Faction.

    Not really...

    Part of the Channeling is canceled in the ground due to to the lightning hitting the ground... So umm... since they can't fully render the full animation due to some of the channeling lightning hitting through the ground. The whole animation is affected.

    In the air, it is not affected....

    Anyhow, not that big of a problem anyhow, yea, I like to see you squirm over such a trival topic noobs.... Please make me laugh at you more!b:chuckle
