What happened to the "Readying Skill" mechanic?

You can start casting again once you see the animation disappear. I guess that's just too hard for some people. It's not hard, trust me. People just don't like change so they think it's worth quitting the game over.

Maybe, but it was not my point, but i don't understand, why casting bar still doesn't work correctly, it's not about players skill here, it's all about casting bar for me. It's not part of game script, that casting bar acts different every time, once, i cast Stoneskin for example, and bar fills with almost correct speed, when i try it next time, casting bar fills in kinda 0,5 sec., then i wait for spell, several seconds. And i must say it again, it's not something that needs any kind of defense, because it's not script, it's not new mechanism added with 1.19 patch. This is a bug, which was always here, but when queueing/readying skill was removed with 1.19, this bug is more actual again

Do you understand my poit now? I really don't understand how someone can say "It's ok for me, keep it in game", when we are talking about BUG

In most cases you can cast before the animation stops. We're just not sure exactly when because all this crap is still server-side and latency is inconsistent. Consistency is paramount. If you wait until the animation stops, you've wasted a second of your time and probably took another hit you could have avoided otherwise.

While I preferred the Readying Skill mechanic for casting, I'm fine with removing it provided the casting bar works, which it doesn't.

Just highlight the next spell that you'd queue anyway during the first animation and spam. What's the big deal?

i have posted in some othe topics about this issue.
i agree, that because of latency problems current battle system makes casting/using skills harder then ever.

Feedback: Casting Time!!
Made casting system like from before the 1.19!

That you have to spam a button just to execute a simple action?
