Exceptions thrown on abilities that have reached the casting stage will cause the handler to cycle until something breaks that cycle, usually the target's death.

Nothing to see here.

The same thing happens to me last night

In this case, one of the commands is missing its damage information. This raises an exception, which propagates back up to the ability handler and is caught. However, the bugged ability is still executing, so it attempts to finish its cast again, with the same result. This continues until something else blocks the ability from casting (out of AP, out of range, etc), dealing massive damage. The GCD won't stop this because it's checked when the ability begins casting, not when it finishes casting.

Why don't I change it? Because catastrophic failures like this ensure that the problems get reported to me ASAP.

"We don't fix broken red lights, because it ensures that we find out about problems with malfunctioning brakes and seatbelts immediately."

This is what happens when you let developers run the show 10/10 I love this project.

[...] dealing massive damage. [...]

Does it actually deal damage? If so, the creator of this thread has got a shitload of hitpoints if he survived this...

Or are you Grawshak? Then dying obviously isnt a stopper for the loop error

Yes I remember talking to you about it last week because from where I was sitting it looked like he was one shoting people. Generally when this sort of bug happens a tester should report it and not keep exploiting it.

If he has figured out how to do it and could explain how to make it happen that can only help the devs.

@op when is the screen is dated from?

Stop with these kinds of posts, it's getting annoying.
