Why the limitbreak animation is so long?

[Sterob]

Bard lv3 limitbreak, after the heal i just stand there like a sitting duck for like 3-5s and yet i am still vulnerable to damage. And there is even no animation played, just simply freeze like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered.

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with: time it well or don't use it, it's a game mechanic, you know the animation will take a while so you have to time your usage right.

nothing is more irritating than the 12 second animation lock from raise.
