    What point in the cast bar does it finally interrupt for you?

    For me it will sometimes interrupt at around 00.25, other times the bar will completely fill, animation will go off, but in the chatlog it will say "You cancel Esuna".

    I think Esuna is a really easy way to test latency on casts because of this, as it's about a 1 second cast time, which makes it very easy to see how long it actually takes for the server to tell your client that you interrupted the spell... For me it is basically between 700-900ms... Pretty crazy huh?

    Want to hear the crazier thing? Very rarely (but it happens) the Esuna is not interrupted, even when continuously running in a straight line on auto-run..
    This means that a full 950ms spell actually fit in between position updates.

    While my ping is about double NA players (about 250ms), this does not explain why I can nearly, and sometimes actually complete a 950ms cast time spell while continuously running. My internet is highly stable, I do not visibly see any lag spikes, and my frames in a busy area range from 45-60 on max settings.
