Templars have had this for a loooong time now.
I remember this since i made a templar (back in April)
Its definitely a bug and is definitely being exploited (once you figure out how to do it)

This is the only positive bug amongst 999999 bugs of any templar ability.

Have experienced this bug both in PvP and running dungeons. I can never chain cast more than twice, but it's always a nice surprise (though admittedly exploitative). Although in all fairness it really doesn't take more than 30-45 seconds to generate healing ults in PvP.

It's possible to have less than 10 sec break inbetween casting healing ultis without exploiting anything, but as far as I know you can't get the required gear on a lvl 45 char, so in this case it's probably bugged.

I've tested this on live but I dont video so I'll just explain.

The highest number of chaincasting I got to was 5, this was in a solid 25v25 or more keep battle, whole lot of action; lots of spamming of skills and it occured right near the breach. Another time was at the top of the stairs going to bleakers from aleswell, I believe, same scenario bunch of players all around the stairs ping/laggy acting up chaincast is likely.

Other times I've been allowed to chaincast 2 or 3 times but not all the casts heal. Once again this occurs usually with more than 20 players really going back and forth. So in these cases while it looks like I'm exploiting I'm actually just trying to get the skill to work. By going back and forth I mean the use of other aoe's, if 20ish people all are using single cast abilities this phenomenon usually doesn't occur.

For me remembrance will cast, and near immediately my bar ult ball will be lit again saying 'hey ready for use'. To avoid 'exploiting' I literally will have to put myself on a self timer.

Now I dont use add-ons, so its difficult to gauge what a good self timer would be, so I've always been worried about being accused of exploiting. I try not to chaincast but my hands aren't the best and sometimes clicks happen. Fully admit testing on live was lame but it provided the best venue to test.

Furthermore since ZoS hasn't commented on my prior posts about this I've began to wonder if chaincasting is a bug, exploit, or use of emergent clever gameplay a la animation canceling. Since chaincasting only, for me, seems to happen in large group setting it is taking advantage of the weak server-client communication (I think someone with more knowledge please correct). I will say its pretty lame to need to self enforce a timer (because the ult gets lit up on its own) in order not to gain what seems to be an unfair advantage.

Also I've wondered if the ability to chaincast is related to healing generating ult. By this I mean, when I cast rememberence, during that time, I build enough ult to recast since the scenarios it happens in for me a lot of people are being healed.

That's all my input on chaincasting rite of passage and its morph remembrance, hopefully the right eyes see this and it helps. General clarification would be just as nice.

There may be some truth to this. I rolled a healing temp recently and found the passage chaincasting procs during the moments when I think we're all gonna die to a huge zerg. During normal fights it will generate some ultimate.

I thought it was just lag before reading your post.

Just another bug ZO$ knows about and has failed to act upon, nothing new.

It's not an exploit since not consistent and no way of replicating it. It's a bug during lag, that's been around fore a long time.

Sometimes, usually laggy PvP fights, channelling Rite if Passage wont consume ultimate. It's a known bug (I encountered it first time in 1.6) and of course reported. So over 8 months of templars double/triple channelling it if lucky lol. Not fixed.

Guessing because not enough players raging about it on the forum and sending tickets. It's not one of those bugs that kills enemies directly or wrecks you 1v1 and therefore flying under the radar. It's also rng and most of the time Rite of Passage does deplete the utli.

Okay Yes as the others have already mentions this can only happen when there is a alot of action going on, a.k.a PvP 20v20 and everyone spamming abilities.

HOWEVER

Today I have found a way to replicate this, TO SOME EXTENT.

I think that @ZoS might be interested in this.

The way I have managed to chaincast this multiple times whenever I wanted was like this.

Note: this takes some experimenting with and you need alteast like 150% Ultimate (I use FTC to see how much Ultimate)

The way it worked the most for me was when I used the steadfast ward (? I think its called) During a large fight where atleast 15-20 players are on each side.

I did this order:

1. Roll
2. Steadfast ward
3. IMMEDIATELY )like during the cast animation of the ward) Cast Rite of passage

Note that this does work with other abilities as i have managed this with others.

And do not worry I have made sure that im out of the way of my allies when I have been trying to exploit it so It would affect the PvP of my allies and Enemies!

I hope this helps some palyers and hopefully some @ZoS Staff!

Enjoy your New Year!

For Templar's its a bug on PC and console for all of our ultimates.

Not sure what causes it, but it gets pretty ridiculous. I can see in PvP, others being very upset

Yeah I can Imagine, like in the video above imagine you are fighting someone (or a group) and jsut having someone cast A massive Heal 5 times in a row, on top of that spam all the other shields and Heals...

Zeni pls.

EDIT:

AS MUCH as I Love this bug happening to me sometimes during a group fight on lets say Sejanus-Alesssia bridge, keeping all my allies alive and everything. It is so unfair and I feel like scumbag just for doing it. But then again as someone said before. You can get enough ultimate to cast this again in about 10-15 seconds. But 10-15 seconds is a lot differant to 1 second.

Bug since release.
