Static field casting, but not displaying/affecting health

Having a huge problem with static field. When I cast it, I get the cast animation and I lose mana, but the field doesn't actually appear on screen, and even when I cast it over a group of enemies, their health remains unaffected.

As of right now, it's useless. Anyone ever have this problem?

I havent had this problem no. Anything that seems wierd glitchy is usually solved by joining a new game.

Assuming this doesn't fix your problem, there is a couple things that come to mind.

Static is lightning damage based, so if its light immune its not going to work. Remember in hell you cannot bring a target under 50%.

Static has a fairly small radius with 1 point/low skills. Perhaps you weren't close enough to your targets. Try tele stomping it and static'ing. If this still doesn't work, and its not immune to you, I'd suggest the keyboard face smash. Repeat smashing until your static works again, or your knocked out and floored.

Tried a new game. And I'm not casting it on light immunes either. Even if I was, problem is the spell doesn't seem to cast at all. It takes my mana but doesn't actually cast.

And on top of that, I just hit 24 with the same character and can't place any points in Blizzard or Meteor, despite having hard points in all the pre-reqs. All the lvl 24 skills that SHOULD be available are just greyed out. Grrrr!

I don't need to have BOTH pre-reqs, do I? ie: both Fireball and Fire Wall lead to Meteor, but I only have points in Fireball. I should still be able to get meteor, right?

You do need both, sorry
The grey arrows pointing to other skills show what you need to get a certain skill.
So in this case, both firewall and fireball point to meteor.

Static Field affects enemies based on the radius from the character. So, the SF doesn't cast where your cursor is pointing, it's cast where you're standing. If you want to hit enemies with SF, you must be near them, the lower the level SF, the nearer you must be. The animation you'll see is a lightning shock hitting the enemy, there isn't anything coming from the character towards the enemy. Find some zombies in the blood moor that don't move very fast and test this out, if you cast and don't see any change in their health, get closer and try again.

Ahhhh! I was confusing static field with the assassin's shock web - I thought it was a "field" you threw down on the ground.

And I also didn't know you needed all the pre-reqs. I thought they were alternate paths you could choose.

Thanks guys! All cleared up
