Title asks it all.

But to be more specific, can Bright Wizards and other casters, cast their main "Nuke" spell while moving? If "Yes", will there be any limitations? Like, reduced movement, shorter range, weaker effects, etc. If there are limitations, will there be things that help casters improove their ability to cast while moving? Like, mogic boots that increase speed. Gloves that enhance spells cast while moving?Enchantments that increase range, etc?

I hope they do. And I hope that spell range is not capped. It it so unrealistic for say a level X caster to have the same range as a level "X + 30" caster, where both can not move while casting, yet level X melee types can run up to both of them from max range before they even get 1 main Nuke spell off, let alone 4 or 5.

I tried to cast every spell I had access to in Baltimore and none of them were cast-on-the-move spells except instants (obviously). But who knows what will happen by release.

I'd wager every caster will probably have some form of cast-on-the-run ability.

TY Romple (http://www.warhammeralliance.com/forums/member.php?u=7016). Which instant spells were you able to use while moving? And how "powerful" were they to say your main Nuke spell? Were they like say, 50% as powerful as your main Nuke? 25%? 75%?

Actually, don't Bright Wizards have a way to charge their staffs with their spells, to then be instantly cast?

They didn't have that ability when I played. Sounds like the system Dragon Empires (or whatever the name was, forget... was an amazing game concept until they shelved the project unexpectedly ...cry...) was gonna use.

I don't quite remember exactly which spells I was using. there was a very nice variety, and spells chained off one another. You might cast an instant DoT type spell that is a pre-requisite to casting a targeted AE spell etc... So while the instant wasn't extremely powerful in itself, it was a necessary first step to chaining much more powerful abilities.

As in... "Can only cast Spell B on targets afflicted by Spell A"...

The system you are refering to for bright wizards is that some of their spells are supposed to cause the target to start "burning" or be "ignited" something like that, and they can then cast a spell on that target that causes a variety of effects. A big nuke, AoE nuke, ect.

I'm glad you know so much about what is a realistic use of magic. :rolleyes:

Were you the Noixi that stirred up all the trouble in the WoW Mage forums?
