Stone Wall/Dig (bug/feature?)

#1 Post by edge2054 »

Casting Dig on the walls created by a Stone Wall spell does not dig but still consumes mana. Not sure if this is a bug or a feature (either part,the not digging or the mana consumption).

I would prefer it to remain this way actually as it creates a "safe spot" for the duration. The reason why it used your mana is that it tried to dig through the walls, but they are not diggable (no dig line added in grid feature).

Being able to dig through it on the other hand allows you to create a 'bunker' you can attack out of like so...

- s s

Assume the 's' are skeleton archers or mages that you don't want to fight out in the open.

I realize it's useful as is for cooldown management and letting dots or duration based AoEs tick but making it diggable adds another layer of strategy to the spell and makes it a LOS interrupter as well as a safe spot depending on how you use it (as long as you're not fighting creatures that can dig of course in which case yes, the spell does become less useful.)

Just my 2 cents.
