    Working as intended, swiftcast only instantly casts, it does not instantly action. Holy has a longer action time the it's cast. Swiftcast allows you to release the orb immediately (no cast time) but the orb doesn't do anything until it pops, at that point you see the flying numbers. It has the greatest time difference between the 2 I am aware of making it the most noticeable. If you watch closely your stone spells do this also with a much smaller difference.

    I know what you're speaking of, and that's not what's happening. The 5 second "cast time" is before the orb even appears. Supported further by how I'm able to cast another spell that will be interrupted by Holy when it finally goes off (although this may have been from somebody running behind a pillar, but I was able to start casting it, at any rate), and how the delay doesn't go into effect until Garuda is engaged.

    Also, I'm playing on a PS3, I realize that I forgot to put that in the original post.
