Translation: "You simply didn't predict that crit ahead of time." After all, hallowed ground going onto cooldown and leaving us dead before it goes into effect is not exclusive to Mountain Blaster.

But yep. You're right. That's on us. We're bad that way. All of us who play paladin and aren't you have a lot to learn.

Agreed. He knows exactly what goes on exactly at that moment, and all limiting factors, because everything in his theorycraft world is ideal...all conditions met so it should always be on our hands. The fact instant skills take so long to activate is quite annoying. To the point that adding it into latency it can take up to even 3 seconds to activate.
