Skill “Possession” now canceled by hit??? what is this …
I suppose they should have OOB able to cast spells in front of them, instead of the body.
This way, Possession and other skills can be combined, but afterward, may need a nerf this way.
Yeah bro, I was the same way as you when it started working like that after the patch. We can no longer get animation lock but now it cancels when hit and not knocked back or knocked over.
They hurt out solo damage even more… 
More Sadhu nerfs, no Barb nerfs. Ah well!
the casting magic should be cancel able, but for possession skill, maybe it will be good have some range on it…so the mobs who trap cannot cancel it
Yeah after playing some more around with it tonight… I’m able to get around and deal with it but I have to use safe zone or the Druid skill Stroph…
Definitely harder to use but now I’m pretty sure that’s how it’s going to be. I have a feeling that this is the intended mechanic to get cancelled when hit by something. Isn’t that usually what a channel consists of in most games?
Anyways, just my two cents.
or maybe just make skill animation faster…
Before, it would force you to relog, so it’s sort of a buff.
For me it seems stupid… a “mage class” with a 10 sec close range cast skill is canceled by hit, there is no way you won’t get hit in that time unless you run full DEX wich i think is not fun for a class who scalate with INT. Btw i don’t know what are you talking about exdarklight cuz i never had to relog.
Welcome to Psychokino. Enjoy your SP efficient version of Psychic Pressure while it lasts. 
Its rather a consequence by fixing this bug than a balancing.
So not really intended, its just part of what caused the bug and you know, programmers are lazy and need to deliver results fast ;p
If you dont believe me, compare Zaibas with Possession. Zaibas wont get canceled even if hit. You can even cast it in a groub ob mobs. Try that with possession and you will get canceled in the first 0,1 seconds of casting.
Heck, they just made these skills cancelable to fix the bug and we have to deal with its consequences now.
Yeah it’s Lame. I would love for it to be a bug. I hope it is.
Now I have to use Druid ~10 Second Invulnerable skill to get it off or use Safety Zone. Sucks but I can manage until they fix it or if they do. I don’t believe it will be fixed by the end of the beta.
Probably not since that workaround is supposed to buy them time to find a proper solution.
