Hmm as far as I've seen you have to stand still to cast spells, then when the spell is charged you can walk around with it loaded and shoot when you want to. Perhaps I didn't explain what I meant properly in my previous post though

.

No, it's definitly been said that your casting-time increases while walking. That means that you can cast while walking.

You all seem to forget that we do not have classes in Darkfall, so a melee type guy chasing a mage type guy would probably mean the melee type guy being sick of running after the mage, and casting paralyze on him, then whacking him with his axe. When we say that you may run while casting, we don't mean run at 100% speed.. more like run at 10% speed when casting.. possibly 25% run speed if you happen to have some neat runcasting skill. And all this will be tested EXTENSIVELY, so don't stay up at night worrying too much.

Moving at 10% is almost as standing still and having a cooldown upon that would be plain retarded, possibly as bad as it even might ruin the mage class and the game.

A fight should not depend if i got my spells on cooldown or not, it should depend on if i outskilled/outsmarted my opponent.

and im glad the majority agrees

UO never had cooldowns, u just had a very slight recast time, which could be skipped if u "speed casted"

Well, didn't like everyone play caster in UO tho? Or so I've heard.

Am I the only one who thinks that meele/archery will be the winning factor in Darkfall, not mages, and mages being a "backup DPS" for fighters aka. class cannons .. Just wondering :-)

I'm gonna mix between archery and spells, so well. My guess is that I will find advantages in both.

one thing your all missing.

cooldowns are in, cooldowns are needed.

Now what you do not want is a global cooldown, cooldown on individial skills/spells are nice. Anyone ever played DAoC?. I liked that system.
The original system I might add.

Jesus christ... cooldown on spells?!
