The delay of Hallowed Ground is unacceptable

I see two issues mentioned in this thread.
One is the wind up coming from animations when you use an instant skill.
The other being the issue that some skills go on cooldown even when they did not take effect such as benediction going on cooldown without actually healing anything.

The first im perfectly fine with, it just makes the game a bit more on your toes. You have to think ahead and make tactical decisions.
The second however is a lag issue and should be dealt with. I see nothing preventing the server from correcting the fact that your skill went on cooldown when it was in fact cast under circumstances it should not have been able to (i.e. when you are dead).

It works fine for me, and others. So saying things like "it's completely broken" are just plain wrong.

Skill description says instant cast

Cast is not actually instant.

Skill is either broken or they need to make a change to the skill description.
