Spells and swing timers

[monkeydoc]

Can someone explain to me how spell casting and melee swings interact? Does your swing get eaten if it happens during spell casting or does it go off as soon as casting is done?

From what I understand and have observed, your swing delay continues through out your spell cast. So if you have a 2 second weapon, swing and immediatly cast a 1.5 second spell, your next swing should happen in .5 seconds. If you swing, wait a second, then cast the same spell, you will miss your swing by .5 seconds, but the swing will go off as soon as you have finished the spell.

What Tubble said. Your delay isn't reset after the cast. Pretty cool for Shamans using JBB and the Barb hammer or epic, you always get a hit in between casts. Same could be applied for an SK using longer casting spells with a 2H, but then again if you're just going for aggro you dont have that long of a cast time, really only Drain Spirit is over 2.5 seconds.
