MiniMap Ping Explained - Cast AOE Spells

[The IT Monkey]

Out of curriosity does it have to be the mini map we ping? can we just ping the world? What I am asking is you are always at some x y z cord in the world... how would one find out these cords?

I might be doing a Jim Carey impersonation right now... in other words talking out my ass.

Okay, that was an uniformed question.

BUT, doing some research.

Volley, you can click the volley spell and then click on your mini map and the volley will go off there. Same for Flare. Flare hits above the ground just as if you used the /script macro.

So, this means that volley works as intended but we could possibly put in a bug request for flare and all the other spells this doesn't work on. It is obvious that Blizzard intended for us to be able to call down a targeted AoE by clicking on the mini map ... it's just some of the spells Z axis are off.

And it is the Z axis being off on the SPELL. Players altitude does not matter. It's the area that you are calling down the spell on.

Doing more research... will report back with my findings... what can I say... I am bored as hell at work today.
