Bard - certain abilties

Hello. There are quite a few abilities that are not on the global cooldown that do not function when you press the button. The abilities are raging strikes, hawk eye, and barrage plus a number of cross class abilities not on global cooldown. This also effects hp potions and some of the instant heals. It is as if the abilities are tied to an animation so they do not function if an auto attack fires. This makes the game feel less responsive and slow. It sucks to have to spam a button for 2-3 secs before it will activate.

Thank you

I'm a 32 bard, and I would like to back her up on this. I feel as though I can cast a regular skill on global cooldown, than only one of my non-global cooldown skills in between. If I were to try and cast 2 skills that are not on global cooldown I am pretty sure that I would miss recasting my normal skills once the global cooldown resets. >.< good point Shydo!!

All skills, off GCD or not, are bound by skill animation.


Auto attack animation does nothing.

You have to wait ~.3s-.5s or so after using a GCD skill before you can use an off-GCD skill, but there is time to get 1-2 off-GCD skills off in between GCD skills.

They should still have a que for them to function immediately when they can, rather than jamming the button
