Animation Lock: Why don't you like it?

[Alhanelem]

pffft, you only loose control of your character if you do not control it properly. is a contradiction of one and another.

So how do I control my character properly in order to not ever get frozen in place when I use a spell or ability?

Yeah, that's right. There was no way. It has nothing to do with "controlling your character properly." Animation lock is not something you can prevent from happening with skillful play. It happens whether you're awesome or you suck.

Yes, after you get used to it and adjust to its crap factor, you can minimize the impact that it has on your gameplay, but it still has an impact and it still sucks even after you've polished your 'skillz" to the max, because it's not something that you can prevent from happening.

Saying Animation Lock is for aesthetic is a far cry and dumb.

It's not "dumb." it's a fact, not a "far cry." The animation lock exists so that animations play fully so the game looks nicer. It is not put in as a mechanism to enhance gameplay.

LEARN 2 PLAY ur character then, really is not that hard to know, 1 ws how many sec spend?, When to do it? best is after Ifrit unleashing his skill.

Timing, Precision, Execution. The very asset of what needed to do anything.
