Cast times are clunky and shouldn't exist for any skill

Cast times are out of place and clunky in a fast-paced action game like ESO. It doesn't matter what class, ability, weapon, etc, they are clunky for all of them. ZOS should just remove all cast times(except for channeled stuff) and rebalance those abilities by lowering the effects. Adding a cast time to "balance" any ability is just lazy balancing imo.

    Why don't we try giving 1-sec delay to all defense skills in the next PTS? We'll try to see how tactical combat can become. Just a suggestion.

    Seriously, we need the delay after the shield is on and not before. Because a shield skill is always the spammable o-h-s-h-I-t button. Have you tried playing ESO? It's actually the most fun combat in all of the MMORPG genre. You know why? Because we don't have this clunkiness. Try playing it sometimes, so you'll understand. Enough theory-crafting. That activity will kill this game.

    This.

    Also in many cases, readjust their costs too.

    If you think Animation cancelling is bad now, think of no cast times, just LA and quickly 12345 across the keys, would be a complete mess, If anything I think certain buttons should be automatic and others with cooldowns. LA and HA a few millisecond cooldown and Defend is no cooldown. like that. Take animation cancelling away.

    I must agree. Cast times do not have a place in ESO. They should be eradicated.

    The cool down idea seems 537% better.
    "The red pill and its opposite, the blue pill, are a popular cultural meme, a metaphor representing the choice between:

    Knowledge, freedom, uncertainty and the brutal truths of reality (red pill)
    Security, happiness, beauty, and the blissful ignorance of illusion (blue pill)"

    Insight to Agree to Awesome Ratio = 1:6.04:2.76 as of 1/25/2019

    Compared to people that I've ignored = I am 18% more insightful, 20% less agreeable, and 88% more awesome.

    Wardens have to deal with this crap and templars had to for like 3 years. Oh, Dark Flare still has cast time.
    Profanity filter is a crime against the freedom of speech. Also gags.
