The UI in this game....

[Razzle]

Whenever I'm chaining skill I have to spam the keys a LOT to surely get a response, and usually if I chain to fast, it interrupts the last skill. For example if I chain Cleric Stance and then right away use Holy, it will cast to like 10% then interrupt then I have to spam it again through all that time just to get it to work...

I guess it has to do with latency... But SE doesn't care. It all carried from 1.0 just FYI. Had to spam keys there for the same reason and the unreponse.

Edit: On 1.0 we had skill queue which really helped (some people hated it, I guess those who have less lag). Where you could use a skill before the last one ended cast or animation, and it'd register the skill and activate right when the animation of previous skill has ended.

Or even though you spammed cleric stance it didnt go off (NO, did not off and reactivate, just delay took to long that the next action went into place without the first one happening)

Also what has happened to me repeated times is, using flare then even waiting half a second to convert, it took my cooldown, but didnt give me mana (I'm asuming it added the mana before flare consumed it, thus leaving me in the end with no mana anyway)

Or well, what was said about Raging Strikes cancelling the cast. And it has happened to me once that HG went off but boom, I was dead by then anyway LOL. (just once, I mean, this isnt entirely game breaking, but it sure is funny, dumb, annoying and funny again xD!)

Oh well... At least in 2.0 we can sell to NPC items in under 2 hours... ( > . > ;

With instant abilities, you have to wait until your current global cool down is over half finished before it will fire. So, if you're trying to weave, you have to pause after every CD ability before hitting the instant. Annoying, I agree.

Nothing to do with UI or being bugged or whatever. oGCD abilities have animation delay, in that you generally can't use them when you are in animation of another ability.

With oGCDs, you can reliably trigger them halfway between the previous and next GCD. No button mashing necessary once you have a feel for the timing.

Regardless, Button smashing is fuuuuuuuuuuun!!! (plus u can shave off a hundred miliseconds or so, maybe a couple ;P)

The point he was trying to get across is that some oGCD abilities have way too long animations. And the ability going on CD and not giving you the effect is complete BS.

Plus on top of this you gotta ofc add overall delay in the game, anyway.

Ok I correct myself, not him himself, but overall :P His post was just funny. And abilities take long to go off due to animation + (yes, again) delay.

Sorry :P

My silence macro in coil because of this very issue, YES all 15 lines
(I also use same idea for provoke tank swapping)

Excessive? Absolutely.

Necessary? Absolutely lol.

Oh don't even get me started with that. Benediction is the same way and omfg the delay on the HP is stupid long.

It is long because it's suppose to be a emergency skill.
I'm just sad because it has a cool animation and I have to wait years to see it again....sometimes
I let my Tank go near death heeeheeeheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Pretty sure he meant the time until the effect takes place and not the cooldown time. From when you press the button to when the target is actually healed. Which is delayed MORE than other skills, I agree with him. In fact, almost half the time Benediction goes off (and shows on the hotkey that it's on cooldown too) the animation plays on the target, but guess what? It's dead ! .....
