Iv heard that haveing more than -42% channelling will cuase a glitch that actually makes you cast spells slower. I am currently at -39% channelling, I have gear that im planning to use when i hit lvl 90 that will put me at -45% (Lunar glade cape) Fast channelling has helped me a lot in every possible scenario id hate to see it capped at 42

    Only glitch I see happening is with Macros.

    Some skills will channel so fast that you wont be able to recast it again till Cooldown is over and that might mess up a macro.

    Maybe you just misread 92%?

    I have a channeling set with -62% and the one glitch I found is when I demon spark and stack on IH spams sometimes it misses one between casts or it misses the animation.

    Its an animation glitch.

    Theres a wiz named Aedrian that can reach like -93% chan. It looks like his skills are stopping mid-cast but the skill is actually hitting. Graphics just can't keep up.

    The main issue Ive had with chan was my macros are no longer reliable.

    Clerics have a problem when they have over about 35% channeling when Ironheart stacking and they starting to channel but it runs into the cast/cooldown of the previous Ironheart and stops the cast. You then have to repress the button skill to start the channel over again for a net loss of time.

    You can also run into it when spamming Plume Shot and Cyclone attacks and you hit the back of the previous attack so your skill stops and doesn't cast. It's because clerics are already a fast channeling class with almost no channeling time but moderate cooldown lengths, unlike wizards/venos which actually have some decently long channeling times.

    Edit: The glitching occurs at different % for different clerics it seems. Someone told me 32% another said it didn't happen for them until they reached 42 or 45%.

    ^ this. You can see if its just animation or not by testing on a barb with a mob such as harpy (basically anything that needs massive heals)

    There is also a glitch that happens when your ping is high (in the red). If you cast, for example, a plume shot, u can click it again quickly before it starts channeling, and it will not only disregard the cooldown, but also make ur char automatically cast that spell again. This glitch can get very annoying at bosses like thunderclaw (u cannot stop the doublecast while the circle appears over you).
    the loser fail nab cleric from dreamweaver who quit pwi, but still wanders the forums.
