Thread: .3 Second Positional Update Delay (Requesting Dev Response)

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.
