Titan issues that need addressing.

..UNLESS people are either slightly slower than you or working with a slightly slower connection, in which case not having the first third of the castbar going to waste could certainly be helpful.

I mean, I have to believe that if the designers decided that the cast time on these abilities should be X seconds long then the idea is for players to have all X seconds available to them for movement, not "whatever Elazu can work with". Kind of a safe bet, no?

No. If people have slow connections or high latency problems due to connectivity problems with their ISPs, people need to get on their ISPs about that; not try to scapegoat the mechanics of the game. If I recall correctly, SE already did some tweaking back when the game was launched and in the months that followed. Couple with the fact that people should also be gaining more reactive skills, which you're going to learn through repetition, instead of just blaming the game for being too hard.

Who is blaming the game for being too hard? Did you see me, at any point, complain about the difficulty of the encounter? You can argue my points all you want, but please actually argue what I said rather than picking something random out of the air and arguing that instead.

And how are we trying to "scapegoat the mechanics of the game". Are you actually arguing that I am incorrect when I suggest that "..not having the first third of the castbar going to waste could certainly be helpful.."? You must be, because you followed that up with a resounding "No.". Perhaps you can explain precisely why?

This is a troll thread, right? Is this really a thread that ultimately amounts to "I don't understand the process of casting something and then the animation of that cast going off -- for both enemies and players alike"?

This has to be a joke thread, it has to...

No, in your case I think it may just be a reading comprehension issue on your end, since you've come to the wrong conclusion about a thread that explains itself fairly cleanly.

Might I suggest another stab at reading it?
