Caster pull issues

[r00t]

I am leveling a priest at the moment and I notice that as a shadow priest, when HB goes to pull mobs, instead of casting from a distance it clicks to move right where the npc is. This looks very botish. I have my pull range set to 40 which is the range for my pull spell, yet everytime when it is further than this distance, HB will move exactly to where the npc is before it casts the pull spell.

The only time casting from a distance works is when I'm mounted and it runs within range of a mob and stops to dismount.

Check the CC and see if the pull type isn't set to "body" Also what CC are you using?

I am using Ensemble. Where exactly would I look in the CC for the pull type being set to body?

Got the same problem , and it wont drink either before moving to the next target. I have already reported that in the Esemble - Priest topic.

press the configuration button and set up Ensemble properly

I've set pull distances for every option to 40. My original question was where in the CC can I find this option to change pull type if it is set to "body" as mentioned in projektt's post? I only see pull distance settings, no pull type being set to "body".

Same issues here. All pull distances set to 30. Restarted HB. Still no luck. Also using Ensemble (priest).

No one still knows what causes this problem? Is this something that needs to be fixed in the source of HB?

As I've said, when mounted, HB has no problem stopping at the correct distance to cast a pull spell; but when running, HB always clicks right behind the npc and runs up to it before casting. You can see it try to cast while it's running because you will get the message in game about "can't do that while moving".

This turned out not to be a HB problem, but rather a CC problem. Ensemble just doesn't properly handle checking distance before using pull spells.

Singular is waaaay better and this issue is not present in it because there are more explicit checks for distance to NPC. I highly recommend using Singular as a shadow priest. It needs a few tweaks, but it works pretty flawlessly. I made some changes that I posted in the Singular thread if any other shadow priests are interested.
