Whriling Wrath bug?

I posted this in the bug section, but I want to see if anyone else is having the same problem. I’ve been having a problem with this skill every since the October 15 patch. My character will do the animation, however there is no damage and it will go on a four second cool down. It’s becoming quite annoying because I don’t know what’s causing it.

I’m thinking it could be because of this change:

  • Made it easier to retarget channeled skills. Now if players try to recast them on a separate target, it will cancel the current instance of the skill and start casting it again on the other target.

I tried Whirling Wrath about 50 times and I can only get it to fail if I autoattack in the middle. The animation will fizzle out and it will prioritize the auto-attack.

Actually, I figured it out for realsies. If you tab target and spam channeled skills it will try to retarget and rechannel.

This is probably exacerbated in zergy/laggy fights.

Edit: I forwarded this along. Thanks for the reports!
