Change "animation locks" (makes the game too slow)

Benediction, as well as the tank immortality skills are very clearly intentionally delayed.

I will grant you that, but everything else under the sun doesn't have to be.

There's no reason why all the abilities in this game have to have unclippable animations. All it does is keep you from using abilities exactly when you want to.

Let me use 5 buffs at once if I want to. Let me stack a bunch of oGCD's into one window. It's not the end of the world if people don't see the whole animation for a spell. Let my stuff hit when I hit the button instead of a second later and let me move on to the next button.

Why even grant that?

"cast Instant "
Not "cast when the game feels like seeing that you used this ability and you have up to 2 seconds after using it to still die"

Yeah that's certainly annoying.
Though I do enjoy the idea of each skill having it's own animation. Back in 1.0 99% of them just had this strange half-squat animation. It's pretty nice now, very FF-esque. But it's a hard trade off.
