Right now i can't do much on the ps3 with all the issues this game has on the console. Fates are so crowded during prime time that enemies don't even spawn in for me, only other random players and their chocobos. Big issues like this should have been addressed already. SE is just way too slow to fix anything on the game that matters. The same reason DCUO failed, too many problems and too slow on fixes. And i won't even start with this lag/delay they have. Also, why do i need to wait like 2-3 seconds after doing an action to hit an instant ability? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of it being instant?

I know as far as that is concerned, SE has come out and said it was intentional and working as intended. I believe it had to do with the skill animation. I am with you though. If they're gonna make the animation go off prior to the effect of the ability applying, then they need to adjust the cast time to reflect that. I have had times where my Rage of Halone ability will actually interupt after starting with two slashes because I was running between targets to rotate combos on when things wouldn't group nice.

The delay is just such a pain on BLM. Trying to change between astral fire and astral ice with that ability(forgot the name) during fates can be a real pain. Especially when you add the lag in there with that delay. Which means i'm spamming that ability for like 5+ seconds to get it off lol.

Yeah, I had to majorly adjust when I decided to use my no damage ability (Hallowed Ground) because it takes almost full second for the effect to actually apply. So it's gone from a "emergency" skill to, "well it looks like I might be in an emergency soon" skill.
