Ah yes the gole trick. I thought it was meant to be like that.

Anyway i don't really see that as a big thing that needs nerfing as usually when i cancel cast aegis like that during gvg it will be pleaked/d-shot anyway cos it's so easy to see/hear when someone is doing that and even easier to interrupt. It just screams interrupt me imo

Attunements and AI both allow energy gain to be tied to spell cost, there are a lot of skills that have a capped energy gain. I can't imagine they're unable to put the two together, especially when Warrior's Endurance maintains more-complex functionality.

If that was the case, it would be best to have GoLE simply return energy, rather than reduce the cost of the spell (which would punish cancel-casting).

Yes. It would make GoLE significantly worse at absorbing energy forfeiture from interrupts as well.

Firing interrupts into cancel-cast spam is basically banking on luck.

Just because you're bad doesn't mean other people are ;o

If it's possible, wouldn't it be best to simply make GoLE burn a cast when you start casting a spell instead of burning one when you finish casting? It burns a cast when you get interrupted, so I suppose it could be made to burn a cast when you start the spell, too.

This way you could basically do 2 free cancel casts, and then you'd have to start paying for the casts again. Also, GoLE would still maintain the use of casting spells at 0 energy.

Yeah, it would be, but I think that's impossible.
