I'm sure I read something like this on the forums but I can't find it now.

So is there a reason why Raise has such a massive delay after it's cast on someone? Yeah, it looks cool to see someone being raised in a beam of light and everything but they or I can't do anything to them during that time. They can't move, I can't cast any heal spells on them.

Yet it seems that environmental hazards can still hit them during that time and knock them out, there by making the cast wasteful and a huge mana dump for nothing.

So is there a reason for this? Is that just how it's supposed to be? Can it at least be changed to where us healers can at least cast heals on them while they're being rez'd so that they're not immediately taken down again?
