Reduce animation time for caster

[JohnnyDevo]

Caster LB does more damage than ranged LB, which is the balancing point for the longer cast time. I personally think that's just fine.

The difference in damage is so small that you're better using Ranged LB in most of the cases if you want to hit Two targets.

5% is not small.

Anyway OP is complaining about caster LB, nobody mention the healer LB's animation lock.

It's somewhat 5% more damage for 30%ish longer cast time/anim lock. It is pretty small if you're hitting two targets exactly or multiple targets with negligible HP pools. The caster's own damage + the ranged's own damage over the extra seconds post amimation lock can not only compensate the smaller LB damage but actually sum up to more damage in total in the same time frame.

Healer animation lock is the same as caster. I'd agree with you before the buff to it and nerf to weakness, but the power to mass raise and ignore weakness (that is now an absurd stat reduction) is actually strong enough to compensate it.
