That does happen with tank invulns such as Hallowed Ground, but again I've never seen this as some kind of "tick rate" issue but rather that there is a long animation that occurs where your player puts up a shield around them, and once that shield appears around them, the buff gets applied.

Ability effects should just happen instantly and not necessarily be tied to the animation. I know that isn't as lore-friendly but it makes the gameplay more reliable and smoother.



Yep. Hallowed going on CD and the effect not finishing is a design choice, not server tick related. The effect is applied after the animation finishes. There are abilities that apply effects immediately.
