A PLD's Plea

I have to ask and this may have been brought up before I don't come on the forums much. I main PLD and never have any issues, my progression is up yo turn 5 everything else is easy haven't had a serious group for EX titan yet. But my main question hallowed ground. Its happened a lot lately but the delay from using the ability to it actually activating is very aggravating and sometimes when its used and I die because it doesn't "activate" in time it still goes on C/D. is this a known issue that they know about and are going to fix or have they just chalked it up to "thats how its supposed to work" I always saw it as an "oh Sh*t" moment ability but because of the delay it can't really bee used as that. Anyone else have this issue?

It activates after the animation completes. Never read anything from Square reps or devs about them changing it or if that's intended behaviour, but that's how ti is right now.

All of the "Oh shit" buttons have a massive delay.

It's not JUST the animation u need to wait for, but the .5 wait before the animation.

As an example, i can hit any ability thats off the GCD, and it darkens, af if i hit it, even if it wont go off, or if it does, and i still need to wait for the animation.

Now hit ur oh shit ability, and ull notice it doesnt darken like any other ability, until .5s has passed, then darkens, then does the animation.

in short, it seems SE doesnt want last min saves, but instead for these to be used in situations where u know something is coming, before it comes, and u start to rev it up.

(hallowed ground before big attack, or benediction in a scenario where u cant get a swift cast cure up, and need to keep moving. etc)
