Instant cast items

from Demigod Forums

Sigil of vitality can be cast while chasing someone down, and your DG will continue moving without a hiccup.

 

If you chase someone with Wand Of Speed, turn it on, your DG will stand in place until you remind it to move again, add to that the lag and you gave your opponent a 1-2 second head start even though if you didn't click on the item, you would have been following / hitting the enemy the whole time.

 

Also, why do we need to hit wand of speed 100000x in a row for it to register...  it's always when you really need it

 

Hitting it just once will never start the spell, you have to mash the button for the game to register that you want more speed. And this sucks considering you want more speed when you want to 1. run away 2. kill stuff..... both of those are time sensitive gameplay mechanics.

 

Thoughts?

Im not sure I have had it not activate. 

The afasct that it is instant, and it makes oyu stop is obnoxious.  I find it best to use the hot key for it so I can mouse click immediatly after i cast it.

this occurs to me alot with many spells/items from all demigods. personally i think its the udp nature of the game, which means packets can get dropped along the way, so the spell may not register at all.

it is very frustrating, when your demigod doesnt mist/heal/shield at crucial times :(
