Shattered Kingdoms

This is not a big enough issue to nerf all moving casting. Think about traveling refresh, healing, and some of the tactics patri described. Please don't do it.

That's funny, on my very first character I joined the Peacekeepers and with about 5 minutes of practice I had the walk in holy word down to a science. In fact I recall walk-in holy wording Destrivai and some warlock repeatedly when they attacked Exile one time. Walk-in holy words are an absolute cinch now that bounty NPCs enter into the equation and lock PCs down in rooms.

A) Bring the NPC into your group.
B) Order the NPC to cast holy word.
C) Walk into the room with the people you want to holy word.
This is not difficult. It is also impossible to react to even if you have superhuman reflexes. The only thing that should ever prevent some from being able to do this is having bad charisma, but now that you can enchant stat mods that shouldn't be an issue anymore. It's also worthy of noting that if you do happen to have abysmal charisma you can always order a warder to fly the sentinel on the way to the enemy group, which will slow his casting time and give you all the time in the world you need.

Nerfing all moving casting is not something that is necessary in my opinion, but I can think of two very powerful room affect spells that should not be able to be cast while moving: Final strike, and holy word.

This is what stalled the discussion for me last time. What's the solution to that?

Some possibilities: I could just make it so that only attack spells are automatically disrupted if you move. Or I could make it so that only attack spells have a chance of being disrupted when you move based on your concentration.

If you're going to change it, I'd prefer this way. The chance of being disrupted might be enough in PVP to balance things out.

Really, the only spells this would then affect would be the aforementioned spells and a couple of cabal-specific ones, since all the others have to be aimed at a target and hence cannot be pre-cast.

Perhaps the most straightforward fix would be to break concentration on untargeted spells. Clerics could still refresh self.

Except the part where people follow their target, then start casting. If the target flees, there's a chance the spell concentration will break.

Thats what the best spell in SK is for.

Bash.

Oh, I'm not saying it's a bad thing the concentration will break. I was just expanding the list of spells this would affect to practically all attack spells because of follow.
