Tasks such as re-ordering subscriptions and playlists, renaming playlists, and even subscribing to podcasts, seem much easier on Instacast for Mac than they ever were in the iOS version. One (Minor) Remaining Issue – Feed Refresh Of course, what makes these features so important, is that the results are synced almost instantly to your iOS devices. The one minor remaining issue that I have with the current Instacast ecosystem is feed refreshing in the various apps. Currently, the refresh mechanism takes approximately 20–40 seconds for my 73 podcast subscriptions. Though that refresh can be annoying when it forces me to wait for that new episode of a given podcast that I know is available, the bigger problem is that this refresh makes the Instacast iOS app unresponsive for about 10–15 seconds when it occurs. Now, iOS 7 will alleviate some of this hassle, with its new background downloading APIs, but I think that does not go far enough. Instead, I hope that Instacast implements a server-side refresh of feeds, similar to the one found in Shifty Jelly’s Pocketcasts. Obviously, if Vemedio had to implement this type of server side processing on its own, it could be a time consuming, labor intensive, and resouce-costly process. I have no idea why they didn’t come up with something like that from the very beginning.Thankfully, David Smith, creator of Feed Wrangler, mentioned in a recent interview on the 15 Minutes with… podcast that he felt Feed Wrangler could be easily integrated into podcasting clients for a feed refreshing back end. So much easier than scrolling or using keys to move up/down in the group list - especially you always have to check which one is first selected before you move up/down to the correct target - it is not always the first person in group. So for me it would be the shortcut R for the Heal and 3 for the 3rd person in the group. I hope they add such functionality at least as option. I know you can bind a key to deactivate the targeting after you clicked sacred ground but is a hassle and distracts a lot. How often I tried to place sacred ground to my mouse position but it placed it somewhere on a person far away from the tank and the tank didn’t have the important sacred ground healing and buffs for a long time. I would also want to have an option to disable targeting for Sacred Ground. This would enable almost instant very easy single target heal. The heal targeting could be so much easier if once you click the single target heal skill you can then use 1-5 keys to select the target. I am surprised using orb/sacred/beacon you ran out of mana… I will need to study that a bit more before I take my group to the Depths.Īlso agree the attractive feature of Light’s Embrace is it is a one skill point wonder & insta cast.Īgain thank you and hopefully others will offer their thoughts on this topic as it is of great interest to many of us still leveling and looking for real world experiences on healing abilities Another downside of Light’s Embrace, especially leveling is its huge mana cost combined with it’s insta cast, leads to over use and draining of mana. I checked it is not always the same position ( #3 or #4) it skips seems to be random, very frustrating.Īs to running out of mana… I found a cheap and simple solution is using a Mana Focus (+regen) potion very helpful. Then later that evening I could heal them fine and it skipped another member of my party. I moved from one spot to another no luck. Last night again I was in a group and my target was right in front of me, no obstructions, and I could not scroll to the target it kept skipping them over and over. Thank you for your reply the information is helpful.Īgreed the heal lock system is really which is holding me back from wanting to use a direct heal.
