Any way to avoid "interrupt, interrupt, interrupt" while I'm stationary??

I tested it this morning by stopping, tapping an arrow key to turn, and immediately casting, and still regularly got "you continue casting" messages. I tried both using a key and flicking mouse-look and then immediately casting.

It's latency, you need to stop longer.

Yea, that's kinda what I was getting at. I don't think turning has any impact on this, I think people just fully "stop and do something" and that tends to give enough of a timing to not get interrupted, not that turning actually sends an update.

Yup. I honestly doubt the server code checks rotation at all for interrupts, since you can turn in place and cast all you want. The only thing it is checking is player position when you started the cast vs. player position when you end the cast.

Stopping completely and then turning is what I do. I stop and make sure my walking animation ends before I start turning with a or d, and that works perfectly for timing purposes.

When I stop I always turn slightly, then cast, works 100% of the time. If I run in a straight line and stop, I run into same issue of occasional interrupt.

This is true, but it's not just that. Releasing the movement controls is a decelerative force. You won't stop the instant you release the key. When you release the key you begin to slow to a stop.

Disirregarlesfully, you can't expect to release the movement key and instantly begin a cast which won't be interupted.
