A skill (that means any in-game) that has a long animation or travel time is not an instant. Lets be clear on that.

    Creating a thread for every random pet peeve you have with the game is not going to encourage people to listen to you, just saying.

    If it instantly drains your casting resource, it is an instant. Obviously.

    Its what a forum is for. Its a socialist place where people post things about what they want to talk about.

    It does instantly drain but doesn't instantly apply desired function . :D

    Travel time of a projectile should not be counted as cast time.
    While some instant skills have longer animations, the animation can actually be ignored, so keep on weaving.

    What does this have to do with PvP?

    I’m guessing he’s either mad that he got hit with a burst combo, or mad that he has to figure out how to properly time a rotation featuring instant skills with delayed burst damage.

    Sorry, but no one here actually understands what you’re talking about half the time. You’re posting multiple threads in these sub-forums that are lacking in context and clarity. Your posts read like a stream of consciousness novel.

    What are you complaining about, exactly? The terms “instant” versus “channeled” refer only to the amount of time it takes to cast a skill — they have no bearing on when the damage or heal or whatever actually occurs, and never have.

    I thought it was going to be about instances, like dungeon or solo instances.
