    As the title claims, there's a bug when a spellweaver casts a skill, particularly the guardian and singularity. The problem is that when I cast those skills, the game wouldnt cast in the map but it'll show the skills in cooldown. It's not bad connection because I tried the game in 2 different laptops with 2 different connections and both are good. I don't know where to post this, I assume here. It's a major problem when you really need those skills, as I said I press on cast skill and they don't show in the map, the monsters obviously aren't taunted and the CD is active.

    I don't suppose you could take and upload a video? I have a feeling it's lag on the computer (not internet) side of things. I have played this game on multiple machines over the year, and the performance of the rig you're using makes quite the impact on SW skills.

    I think it's a bug related to a situation when you use them off map... or on a stone or something in the middle of the map, where game treats it like it was off the map. Of course the skill should be redirected to the nearest usable spot or something, but yeah, it just disappears.

    This.

    One other thing I've noticed is that sometimes what happens is you try to cast on one side of the map and the computer thinks it is on the other side. There are issues with edge recognition in this game. This can happen with any toon, though

    The problem is that when U use those skills "offmap", which can just mean something as tiny as a lamppost, or a stone in map center!

    The programming of DSO is SO HORRENDOUS, that the game actually have tiny specs of "offmap" in the very center of most maps! Its a problem that have been adressed since the start of the open beta, but here.... almost 11 years later... BP has not made even 1 (one) single attempt 2 fix this problem!
    -And its not like its hard 2 fix either! 1 of the easiest solutions was proposed on forum like 10½ years ago be4 this game was even live: Just FIX the CD, and people can recast! U could also just allow offmap casts and again: Problem fixed!

    ....Instead Singu goes on CD 24/7 and Watcher is cast sumwhere INSANELY off where the players mousepointer was at!

    Yep dwarf has simuliar problems.
    Tesla buff won't activate if used on stones,stairs any object you can think of.
    Sometimes rocket won't give you herald buff (happens when you are really close to boss)
    Some places on q1 m2 doesn't give you permission to place your red turrets.
    If you use your rocket and you use your special shot before the rocket hits monster your special shot will has his CD.
    Somethimes rocket jump bug/glitch and you jump the opposite direction/jump on one place.

    Even for dks the list goes on
    To mention a few noteworthy
    in Q1 grimmagstone towards the end the last corner before you get to map mini boss, there is a deadzone and if a skeleton ranger or swordsman stands there you cannot hit him
    new moon map the first corner part where you can turn left if a mini mob stands there he is impervious to damage
    Stalgard all those pipes if anything is standing on them you cannot damage them
    Full moon the tiny area between 2 rocks at the top right of the map if something is standing there you cannot damage it.
    Ive actually made a video of the last mentioned in full moon, cannot remember if they fixed it or not

    Sadly I haven't got a video, although it didn't happen in the days after these. You may be right tho, my laptop is not a gamer one.

    Well for the many replies I've read here, I think the only thing we players can do is just not cast on off map... :/ I hope they decide to fix it one day. Thanks!

    Singu problem is annoying. If you put fe skills too fast then singularity cant appear
