Combat will be what kills this game [end of days! redeem! blah blah!]

Taking into account the other thread that makes a fairly compelling case that SE relies on server side processing, that would mean you HAVE to wait for all animations to complete. Hence, the claim that animation lockout was working as intended.

It used to bother me that my instants were really just off-GCD, but I've grown used to it.

Personally, it seems like a lot of the complaints stem from simply bad play. I play a healer, so I understand that its not simply doing things fast but its doing things at the right time. Even with the change to res, you will still have to rely on the target to res at the right time - particularly on things like Titan HM.
