I don't think instant casts like Redemption or Revitalize should stop movement.

You mean Rejuvenate right?

 

It's caused by the animation that your character does when they cast a spell (ie. wave their hands in the air). I've been told animations while in motion are a limitation on the current game engine. However, spells like Plasma shield do not have any animation, so they perform smoothly while running.

 

I kind of wish all instants worked like that, maybe if the game recognizes you're in motion it disables the animation? No idea if that's even possible, might cause desync.

Yeah, I guess that's what I meant. xD I can't keep them straight.

 

I definitely prioritize movement over animations. Hopefully they can make movement animations, but if not (or until then), it'd be really great if they could make it so that these spells don't stop movement.

 

It's just really hard to click on skills while turning the camera while pvping, etc. etc. This way I could at least keep running away while casting an insta-heal.

You know, sometimes it does go while moving. I am guessing its a lag issue where the game realized that you are not where you think you are. Ive noticed that in PvP where you would stop in the Domination capture squares and would not get points.
