    Benediction, for example, is famous for never working as a clutch emergency heal because they're dead by the time the heal takes effect.
    What's also fun is when the Galvanize is applied and the damage goes right through it. Shields are up, damage is taken, shields are still up.

    Per above (see: shield/CD must be applied before attack's animation starts), this means you applied it too late. Now with the instant cast aspected benefic it's a bit less likely to happen since you need less lead time, but it does still happen (Anyone remember Sophia?). This also happens with Rampart, Addle, and similar.

    Since AST exists now there might be a case for making Adlo instacast. But this problem won't go away even SE does make it "instant".
