Stardiver start-up animation and animation lock is too darn high!

[Jonnycbad]

When I press Stardiver it takes nearly 1 full second for the animation to start and then I am unable to move for an additional 1 second during the jump animation. The result is a skill that takes about 2 seconds to use. Nearly a full GCD.

Please shorten the start-up animation as well as shorten the length of time my character is movement-locked. For comparison, look to making Stardiver as responsive and fluid as Dragonfire Dive.

Thanks,

Drg. Stardiver 550 potency, 30% dmg fall off, 2 sec delay, animation locked.

lvl 50 vs lvl 80 , 3 stacks of AF boost that dmg by a lot

and its stupid , flare has no CD , stardiver needs life of the dragon and has 30s CD so its use is limited by job mechanics

You can't compare across jobs. Also don't forget BLM gets huge bonus to Flare from Astral Fire.

It's rather ironic considering they finally addressed Jump with the hyper fast Hi-Jump... only to give us another animation delayed ability. How do you get it right and wrong in, what, four levels? lol

Lol, people trying to compare potencies from one job to another. Don't be silly, that's not a feasible way to compare jobs because of other factors such as buffs and their entire toolkits.
