    Buff Animations

    I hope once they add in the auto-attack system battle will be more fluid and organic. As such, I feel that the current self-buff animations will be detrimental to the pace of battle. Even now, buffing feels like you complete stop attacking for quite a bit, especially when you're stacking a couple of buffs together (also they use stamina).

    I really hope that self-buffs will cast faster or that the cast can remain the same but the portion of the animation that locks your character while casting be shortened so you can go back to repositioning yourself/attacking.

    Yep, buffs take too long to use, and they all have the same animation. It looks like I'm doing squats in the middle of battle or something.

    This is how ridiculous it is - I can set my action bar to have nothing but buffs. I can equip only buffs on my bar and yet still have buffs left over.

    I can do self buffing skills on myself over and over again without having to stop. There are way too many buffs in this game. They should be streamlined.

    Speaking of buffs I hope they extend the duration of them.. 4-5 minutes for Pro/Shell? Bring back the 30min+
