Kind of not the point, really. First of all, the screen spam sucks. I think we can all agree there. That could potentially crash a client or mess with scripts or whatever. Second of all, you have HoL running around using ter'angreal, communicating with shadowspawn, and riding horses that can sense Saidar. It breaks RP into pieces. It's a little much considering the TV gates don't even lock. Does HoL really need that many crutches to go stab novices and Accepteds?
Regarding just keep trying to weave, my point is I have to cancel the weave, re-embrace, then weave again. It's a huge pain compared to just getting the weave interrupted when you're hit. 3 commands vs 1. Do I really need a script/alias just for when there is a HoL horse in the room?
I mean okay I could go back to sleep-stab but there is some problem when stab/abs seems to be *the* most effective channeler build by a huge margin because hey most people who know what they are doing can avoid getting weaved on fairly easily even without a horse to help. Unless they are just utterly not paying attention or trying to run a bash. Then everyone claims to be AFK, of course. Even if I hit them with a weave or two, so what? Warriors can just eat it and bash me dead in 3-4 rounds, hunters can do the same with charge, and rogues just need to get one stab off and let people run around burning mvs trying to find them. HoA got nerfed so that it barely ever procs anymore because "channeling overpowered" so I can't even rely on that to get a spike or two in during a fight in which I need to land at least 5-7+ in ideal weather to bring someone to beat/crit (average damage of 68 per in cold weather, assuming about 300-400 hp which even prerolled stats can hit). Feels like I'm throwing nerf darts sometimes.
Regardless of balance and RP stuff which is perhaps outside the scope of the Bugs forum... if it is supposed to end when the weave timer ends then it is bugged because that's not happening. I got spammed for ~60 pulses before I finally broke it off myself. That's more than just a question of the weave itself getting interrupted. Just make it an emote and problem solved, no?
