Most of the time, I try not to be this person, but in this instance I just can't help it. If you're on WHM and you couldn't avoid the cracks most of the time, then yes, you did suck. Part of the challenge of that fight was learning to time your spells correctly so that if he did cracks you could move immediately. There are times when you absolutely can't wait to cast, and those are the few times I'll grant that you're going to get hit.

While I hated how long animation lock was, I like the idea in general way better than GCD. Just personal preference. But in every game you learn to play with what you're given. If you can't and the majority of other people can (meaning game not broken), well, then you DO "suck" relative to them.
