Issue with Electrocute on left mouse btn

With electrocute on LMB, I often have issues with it casting the spell when I mean to move.

If I click on something, say a barrel, then quickly click somewhere else on the ground to move afterward, the second click will start channeling the spell at nothing.

I know there are issues with spells inadvertently targeting nearby enemies, but this is happening even with lone objects, and when my second click it not very near to them. It seems to be purely a timing thing.

You guys are correct, thank you for your posts! After some further research, this is a bug. I have forwarded it to the combat designers so they can work on it.

Although this can change before launch, the current idea for channeled spells when cast on LMB is that the spell continues casting until you let go of the button while keeping the player stationary. In this bug report, you are not trying to cast the spell but it is not letting you move, so that is a bug we are going to try to fix.
