Sooo, I'm wondering a bit about this so called cleric channeling glitch if you have over 24% channeling... if anyone could explain it bit further it'd be great, since I had planned to get over 24% b:cry

    There's no glitch. From what I heard the only problem having more than -24% would be the fact that your macros won't work too well because of the cooldown time, which can't be changed. I only have -15% right now (planning for a bit more tho) so I can't really tell.

    People are all excited by the whole APS thing but the most impressive thing I have ever seen is my Demon cleric faction leader in action . . . with -60% channeling . . .

    I am not sure I'd call it a glitch, but IH tends to act funny at higher channeling. I had -27 and I noticed that I would, every so often, not appear to cast an IH as I was stuck in the previous IH's animation. I honestly never had a problem with it but it did appear to be weird. Perhaps it's purely a graphical hiccup than an actual glitch as no tank ever complained about not getting healed :o

    As previously mentioned, macros do fail you at higher channeling as well, so don't bother using them if they are not reliable.

    It is what decus is talking about, when you get to higher channeling and are spamming ih it'll start to channel but then get stuck. And instead of casting you'll sit there for half a second and then re-channel ih and cast. This can start happening before 24% channelling, though is not a common occurrence enough to make a big deal.

    I had -45% channeling pre-r9 and never had any problems. What I noticed about the IH spam as the others have said is that on the 2nd cast it would appear to have stopped casting while staying in the channeling stance. I'd always thought that it had skipped the cast animation due to contact/connection lag. I confirmed this when plume shot started acting the same way. First shot would shoot and I would start channeling the second cast, only to stay in the channeling stance. The mob, however, got hit by plume shot twice.

    So yeah, there might be an animation 'glitch', but it doesn't really affect the technical gameplay. b:pleased
