    Again, skills all follow a 3 second server tick for registering if something was applied or not. This is the same for popping tank cooldowns (and why you can [sometimes] Ironjaw 2 seconds after DoTs "vanished" from a mob and they will be refreshed [because of server tick]). If you want to know when the tick is, pop sprint and watch your TP come back or watch your MP ticks (this was used in Alex 4 to have 1 person die to 2 mobs and effectively by-pass the mechanic, raising the raid with healer LB3). Bio follows this rule: you need to have the server tick register Bio was placed before you can Bane; depending on the tick, you may be able to do this immediately. However, most cases will have you wait a small amount of time before using Bane.

    Skills like Benediction, Hallowed Ground, Living Dead, etc. effectively have a 1 second animation cast. Just because they say instant doesn't mean they are instantly cast. It only means you can move and use it at the same time without it being interrupted. Even when using swiftcast (the oGCD that removes casting and makes the move "instant"), you still suffer the animation for swiftcast AND the skill (still giving swiftcast + the skill a 1-2 second animation that will always need to be done).

    Jump and Assassinate both suffer from animation. The difference being their animations are noticeably longer due to moving forward to their target and back to their original positions. Most skills do not require you to return to your starting position like these two skills and therein lies the real issue. If you could move your original/starting position, you'd probably remove the issue people have with these two skills killing them. Unless, of course, they don't realize they are in two places at once.

    FFXIV is not a game with animation-cancelling like you would see in another game like Black Desert Online or TERA. You will always do the animations.
