Quick Draw with Casting

[Tuxedoman96]

Is quick draw still pretty useful when your spells are quickened? I haven't really noticed any difference.

No the devs gave us 1 almost ok spell club then amazingly introduced 1 awesome

Quik swap nerf so no

Quick Draw doesn't affect spellcasting directly. It does affect things like action boosts (slightly reduces the delay) and gear swaps. But as noted, the devs imposed a recent-ish cooldown on weapon swaps which largely negates the appeal of Quick Draw on a caster: e.g., swapping to a clickie item like Ornamented Dagger, activating Lesser Maximize, then switching back to your caster sticks; this now takes longer than it did even with QD. As often happens, a dev attempt to "fix" a narrow exploit has had unintended consequences for a lot of other players. :rolleyes:

Didn't even fix the exploit, given what I saw when I was on like two days ago :mad: so it was a net QoL loss for no perceptible gain. Unless they fixed a different one that is related lol.

AFAIK they changed Action Boosts to be usable mid-combat, and I'd say they are a lot smoother to use now though. I should try with QD though, I basically never have it on melee which are my main style.
