I must admit, in solo play, I sometimes wait until the animation has finished before using another skill, even if it's on a separate cool-down cycle. It's so weird to watch a Bard draw the bow, then draw the bow, then draw the bow - and never actually fire until the rotation is exhausted. I'd like to see the animations complete in full - but, obviously, the game isn't set up like that. And it'd be a nightmare.

Also, Barrage doesn't physically load three arrows. WTF SE.
