Change "animation locks" (makes the game too slow)

[Jonnycbad]

That is how things should be, why did they make it slow?

Spells that are casted with cast bars (Miasma, Bio II) take effect instantly because the player cannot take action during the 2.5s cast time. Bio and Aero take effect towards the end of the animation, because the spell fires off instantly, can be used while moving, cannot be interrupted, so it takes effect ~1.5 seconds after it's used to make up for not having that 2.5s cast time penalty that spells like Miasma/Bio II have.

It's balance:
Spells w/ cast delay (cast time bars)= Take effect instantly upon finish casting
Spells w/ no cast delay (cast time bars)= Effect delayed for during animation to make up for no cast time

Bio II works the same as Bio despite the cast bar - they both take the same fraction of a second to apply to the target.

Miasma works as you're describing.

Prove that is is "balance" and not an oversight, (as in sounded like a good idea but turned out it wasn't) I do not see intentional lag as balance.

Also you did not read what I said, I can cast bio II without swiftcast and bane goes off before it is applied, not transferring. Only Miasma works correctly. (even if swiftcast)

If you need to put intentional lag because something is too powerful, that only shows game balance is not dealt with well, If it says instant, it better be damn instant, not .5- 2. sec depending how fast the server is processing that day. It is not even consistent, that is an issue.

If stuff is made like it should be, how would that suddenly make an imbalance? makes no sense.
