Add a 1 sec cast time to blocking too.

Clearly zos forgot that block casting also uses shields. It is too easy to throw a kite shield on yourself while making minimal sacrifice in terms of dps itemisation and rotation. This applies to both PvE and PvP scenario.

The addition of cast time to blocking makes that choice between damage output and survivability more deliberate and strategic. This also conforms to lore as it is unrealistic to grab a shield hoistered on your back and be blocking within a split second.

    Obviously, you don't get the purpose of this thread.

    Obviously not, but I feel like a Dev is reading this now this king, "Hmm, interesting...."

    While we're at it, we need at least a fifteen second delay between weapon bar swaps. Have you ever actually tried sheathing your sword, getting your arm out of the damn straps of your shield, then putting your arms back through the straps another way so that the shield rests on your back, remembering where you put down your staff when you entered the room ('cause honestly, it doesn't fit on your back), going over and picking it up, and getting back into a fighting stance?

    Takes at least 15 seconds.

    Soldier, while you were fumbling with your gear we were able to travel from Dragonstone to Casterly Rock.
    Don't blink or you may miss the entire battle.

    If a dev is reading this, I think they're probably more likely to be thinking "Wtf am I reading?".

    Potions need a cast time as well. When interrupted, the potion should break and you take bleed damage from the shattered glass.

    Why don't all of you complaining about the changes just post in one thread? Do you ,sorcs, really need to make a new one every hour, day, etc?

    If you want to be heard make one post and keep it at the top. Making all these posts just gets old. Make one giant thread to vent in so the forum isn't cluttered up with 10 or 20.

    threads with nerf requests are made to hurt and nerf other classes out of retaliation and spite and not interested in actual class balance.
    best in slot: is the armor, weapon, clothing look, pet, or no pet, jewelry, race, class, skill choices, amount of DPS, and skin color best fit to you and the way you wish to play and makes you feel good and performs what YOU think it should be.

    worst in slot: what you read in zone chat, and forum comment, and forum thread, and you tube video, and live streamer advice, and class rep advice, and guild chat advice, and whisper told you to wear, and use for skill, and dress like, and use for weapon and armor.

    Nah, they just have to learn to play, rather than relying on shields to cheese mechanics.
