Does this also mean it now defaults to whomever/whatever you're facing when you cast it? As opposed to having to specify?

Thanks,

As an offensive spell it should, as long as it's a creature anyway.

For the record, it defaulted (love that!)

But:

The mana you were holding contributes to the spell.

You feel a deep pain in your soul for initiating the attack against XXX. This is dishonorable!

Give me a few minutes, I'll either have this fixed or revert it.

Armifer, can you please justify the change from beneficial spell to offensive spell?

Re: Halt Update 03/11/2010 05:51 PM CST

Obviously not Armifer, but I think one of the reasons was specifically so it would default to the target you are facing when cast. I remember it coming up in a thread sometime in the past couple of months that it should default, but wasn't. The reason it wasn't was that it wasn't technically an 'offensive' spell.

It would be REAL nice if this functionality was enacted/restored for Halt. I've found new use for it lately, and it is very annoying having to reconfirm your intended target everytime there is a change in the number of creatures in the area.

It can be useful for backtraining weapons, but I prefer stun foe personally, but a paladin who has halt but not stun foe I could certainly see using halt in combat.

Re: Halt Update 04/11/2010 04:52 PM CDT

Why would you be backtraining weapons if you have halt and not stun foe? You should be focusing on, oh I don't know, getting stun foe.

That doesn't answer the question. If you have halt, but not stun foe, you shouldn't be wasting time backtraining weapons. You should wait until after you get stun foe to mess around with that.

Ahh, cause you know best? Let people play how THEY want to play.

And for what its worth, I back train a pile of weapons while still keeping my primaries locked. Its hardly a waste of time.

Re: Halt Update 04/11/2010 05:51 PM CDT

Yeah, um, backtraining is fine and dandy, but you might as well get the important stuff first before you get into a situation where you feel it necessary to backtrain, either for reqs or just out of fun. Stun foe is one of those end-all/be-all spells of the Paladin guild. But what do I know? I'm apparently just a troll for having an opinion on the matter. Thanks pal.

why does Halt need to be fixed? seems it's working exactly as they intended albeit not as efficient and in a different manner than it used to be. Stop trolling with your grand knowledge of nothing JMF90.

Well it doesn't currently default to whatever you are facing. This was the intended change, that has since been rolled back (because of bugs, I believe).

Seems like it would be a worthwhile change to me.

Halt really does need to be fixed, and I dont think Im a troll. Just as Landros it doesnt currently default to what you are facing, makes the spell almost worthless. Would love to use halt for backtraining.

Has anybody done a test to see if the creature takes the same evasion penalty for SF VS Halt?

Halt was recently updated to be flagged as an offensive spell. This allows it to default to the creature your facing when you type "cast" without specifying a target. Somehow, this change got reverted. That's what needs to be fixed.

Re: Halt Update 04/11/2010 09:04 PM CDT

The change got rolled back because it was broken and causing a soul hit when halt was used against another PC. Yes, it still needs to be fixed. It is an offensive spell and should default to who/what ever you are facing without you needing to specify a target.
