[1.0.4] Alchemist's Gem Portal talent issue

[vadim]

Seems you cannot use Gem Portal next to a monster. I fought Bill the Stone Troll, he charged to me then i use sleep and ran away. I clicked on Gem Portal icon and the arrows appeared but i decided not to use it and just tried to kill him. Unfortunately, he came to me and when i clicked on Gem Portal nothing happened and i got a message "Vadim casts Gem Portal" whenever i click on the talent icon. As you can notice i didn't change position.

I didn't have any debufs but Infusion Saturation. It happened two times when i fought Bill and sometimes earlier on my previous alchemist.

I'm not sure that is a bug or not. I still don't know much about the game.

I'm guessing that Gem Portal is considered a melee talent and therefore automatically attempts to target an adjacent foe. Try disabling the "Quick melee targeting auto attack" setting.

Yeah, you are right. Thank you! You just saved my ass. That ugly minotaur in Maze caught me off guard just now and i successfully ported out.

I think it's better to delete this topic.

No, I'm pretty sure Gem Portal being considered a melee talent is a bug, or at least unintended behavior.

The quick melee targeting is great when it works, this is still a bug. You shouldn't have to turn it off to use traps or gem portal, they should just be excluded from it.
