Fix instant abilities

[Bixby]

Shouldn't this be under the Feedback section?

Why? It has nothing to do with the website or localization.

I agree with the OP. It's not only Hallowed Ground, but any abilities "off the GCD" can't be casted instantly, as they should be. It's like they actually have a 0.5-1s delay before it actually goes off. Very annoying!

So you know about the delay, so you factor that in.

You know you are going to be in need of the best cooldown you have 2-3 seconds in advance? Do you healers just say they are going to cleric stance? Does the boss tell you he is going to hit you with everything?

Actually, in a good party yes to all those lol.

Boss fights are scripted aside from who the abilities target. 3 seconds is a long time.

There's ability delay, latency delay and then animation delay. That's why instant abilities are awful in this game.

I play from Australia. Never had a problem with my instant abilities. I can even hit Demolish then run waaaay out of range of my target and still get the Demolish effect on it even though im animating punches and kicks into thin air.

Maybe what we need is an option for these neurotic people where the effect happens before the animation to make them happy. I've played many many MMOs, and the target will always take damage before the animation happens. WoW and SWTOR were the biggest culprits in this, was always a little weird to see mobs get stunned and lifted into the air BEFORE i raise my hand. Then again, in WoW apparently i have Machine Guns instead of Crossbows with how fast you can chain shots together. which made combat quite dull.

Probably talking about how Hallowed Ground goes off and consumes the cooldown but you die anyway. Benediction suffers from the same problem.

Yes it does....it's annoying.

Jupp, insted of "oh shit i have no clue whats going on" skill, u have to learn fight, stay a few sec ahead of the fight and time ur skill.

Its somewhat diffrent playstyle than some other mmo's, but i find this more fun and challanging.
