Not sure if this is a bug (and I should post it in Tech section) or something I did that I can't figure out. Anyway, yesterday I started having problems playing BD. I'm in the Citadel I think it is (where you have to dodge the Deathknight patrols and stuff). I had played earlier in the day with no apparent problems. I got back in to play, loaded my last QSsave, and got into a battle when I noticed my Char, a Wiz, was just rapid firing one of his spells. When I say rapid fire, I mean as soon as I L-clicked on a target to attack, he just starts casting 1 of his available spells (in this case a L3 Fire Missle) one after the other until he's out of mana.

I have him equipped with a bow. Tried switching that out for Willow. Still nothing. Next battle, provided I had any mana, he starts his "street sweeper" casting. If I don't have any mana and click a target to attack, he just stands there and I keep seeing the message "I need to recover mana". I tried changing the Secondary key around (like from the Fire Missle to sneak or whirlwind) but he still just unloads the Fire Missle on every attack.

Is this a potential bug or did I somehow hit a key that I didn't mean to?

Thx.

are you sure the spell is not on the main skill (left click) instead of the secondary skill (right click)... i can't think to anything else but i may be wrong

lol MG you hit it right on the head <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Must have accidentally set the Prim to the Fire Missle. Thx. Interesting knowing it'll work that way though. Now if I just want to unleash BFS9000 (Big F***ing Spell) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I'll just set it to my Prim. Thx again.

well it may be intersting to use left click on spells in act I
but afterthat when you will have more powerful spells <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />...
it may be excrucificating (mana cost) and useless... except maybe for some bosses and even so...
by the way welcome to the forum...

While you on about the way your char auto-reacted (well in this case wrongly so)
Its a nice suggestion to make your ranged attacker (wiz with bow in your case i think), the agressive char (he will auto attack) - to do that right click on the facial pic of your char and select agressive. It makes a huge difference to have a bow shooting at any enemy


Your existence alone, is excuse enough for the creation of the entire universe… Il you my darling Jeanne-Dré 
