DEV REQUEST: PLEASE do not add cast bars to Samurai

[Ghastly]

I'd rather have cast bars than animation locks on the "charge and release" skills.

Any reason why?

Cast bars make skills feel like magic and not really like attacks to me so I rather animation lock.

I don't mind a differing playstyle for the new melee class and I'd rather just jump out of a cast than die.

Because it would suck that I executed a move that took 3 seconds to happen without being able to move at the EXACT moment an AOE from the enemy was cast at the same spot that Im standing. It would just be another DRG Jump, and I am praying the dev team learned their lesson about this already.

and besides, standing still for 3 seconds while you wait for a move to go off is just like casting something, just without the actual bar. At least with the bar, you have to option to cancel it. You won't have that option with an animation lock.

Because of "lolSAM" with animation lock, similar to "lolDRG"

Cast bars you can cancel, animation lock make you to wait (even if you stand in an AoE field)
