The delay of Hallowed Ground is unacceptable

[Arcturius]

Just so all of you know it is not animation delay and stop trying to blame it on that. The animation happens, and the buff shows on your bar AND THEN it counts down to 8 before actually becoming invincible. I would be fine if it was after the animation but it is not. Use ability-animation goes off-buff goes on your bar-2 seconds later become invincible. Was playing WoW today and used my cds and i couldn't believe that i could use them all at the same time and they took effect instantly. Crazy how much shitty UI ruins a good game.

The guys defending this behavior is basically saying 'this game would be too easy if all your ability actually worked like they claim'. And that if your screen actually displayed something that remotely resembled reality too in terms of timing mechanism.

You are wonderful!

Maybe user error....

Well SE.. if you say this is "working as intended". you think this is fun,
then I've nothing to say, & I will unsub this game

I hope that works out for you.

I mean, all players experience this to some degree with abilities. Everyone knows this is an issue, including the devs. I'd say, the best thing you could do is report your issue in the proper section; but who knows, perhaps your ultimatum in 'general discussion' (the area saturated with 'I quit' ultimatums) will be the one thing to turn this issue around for us.

The fact that HG is unreliable as an "oh shit" button is something that I've learned the hard way, multiple times at that. Now I tend to call it out in advance before using it at around 20-30% hp in coil so that healers get some breathing room and can focus on the other tank for a few seconds.

Hallowed Ground does indeed have a delay, but what's really spiteful is that it can go onto CD, and then you die anyways because the CD starts when you pop it NOT when it starts working. This is so goddamned aggravating. Either make HG pop instantly, or make the CD only start when it actually goes off. Right now you hit HG, it goes on CD, you're still vulnerable for about 2-3 seconds, THEN it starts working. It's literally the worst "OH SHIT" button ever made because you actually have to predict the future and use it before you get to "OH SHIT" and even then you might die and you've wasted it because it's on CD and you died anyways!

So much this. Anything else than what Illya suggest is frustrating —which, I guess, isn't the point of a game.
