Ult cast times

ThePhantomThorn

Simple. Do you want them to stay?

Remove them. Maybe keep cast time for onslaught but buff onslaught duration a bit to compensate.

Every ult has a cast time and/or a delay.

But soul siphon double dipping in that cast time and delay. I have no idea why anyone would use it over tether that only has a cast time...

Honestly I rarely ever use ults since the game likes greying out the bar when its laggy.

Its too clunky and sometimes it looks like it goes off, but it didn't. Fakies!

Generating the required amount of ultimate should be the only delay in using an ultimate ability.

@ZOS_BrianWheeler @ZOS_Gilliam

Get rid of cast times. They screw up the game. Why keep something that almost the entire player base hates?
It’s bad for the game.

I love them put them on all ults ( including Templar ult)

the same thread from the same group here on forums.
it is always going to be the same results in responses and answers.

same exact threads just made new and fresh constantly is against the forum rules and its Spam.
Stopit.

but as for the reality of this subject:

1) this forum is not represent the entire community of eso.
it is a very very small percentage of the eso community.
if you want to see what everyone thinks then have to send them each @esoaccount an email.

2) the developers allready said the reason the cast times were added.

Quote:
"We added cast times so there is counter play; we felt that having 3-4 abilities hitting you at once, including an Ultimate, is just too much."
they were accurate in their response.
why?
because it gave output Way too much damage when cast instantly with other skills exactly like they said.
they were right, eso pvp is far better now that they fixed it, and i hope it Stays with a cast time.

your asking to be able to instantly kill people without allowing other people the time to be able to react and even defend themselves. just instant death in pvp, no ability to survive.
that's not pvp, that's just foolishness.

It is impossible to do that with those ults because of gcds.
The only combo I can think of is a curse, frags, meteor, wrath combo. That isn’t affected by cast times.
Have you played any stamnb recently? Cast times make it impossible to burst players.
And anyways. It’s a clear majority of players of the available pool that dislike them.
In fact I’d be willing to bet you either play an unaffected class or play large scale zerging.
It slows down pvp, bugs because of lag, feels clunky and benefits bad players. I cannot believe zos implemented that change, and I can’t understand why they kept it.
Imo it’s the single worst change in eso history.

Cloak + Surprise Attack Stun + Incap, is the usual combo. However because of the cast time and animation delay, which I have never figured out how to animation cancel Surprise Attack into an Incap, the target almost always breaks free and roll dodges before Incap hits. I've wasted my Ult so many times because of that.

Remove that **** so many times I'm in a 1v1 soamming ULTI and its not popping because I'm trying to pop it and attack at the same time

lol So I'm on Console yeah, and I have Bound Aegis in slot 4 (Left Bumper) and Meteor is Left and Right Bumper. There have been so many times during a heated fight where I'm desperately smashing both bumpers, but my character just keeps casting Aegis over and over again.

Same happens to me all the time

Onslaught is fine with the cast time due to its nature and high damage, this skill was buffed heavily with the introduction of cast times; however, Dawnbreaker was left unbuffed and a cast time was added. Dawnbreaker feels miserable with the cast time, unfortunately some classes like stam warden rely on Dawnbreaker, please buff Dawny or remove the cast time!

Remove them. It adds a level of clunkiness to an ability that already takes a long time to use, not to mention the frequently buggy behavior with server lag that causes it to look like it went off, but no damage. This was never an issue before they added the cast times.

It was a bad change meant to help out bad players not get zeroed as fast. *hint* they still get zeroed and just as fast.

I still instinctively try to block/weapon swap cancel my Dawnbreaker... It actually cancels to cast

I think the cast times are fine, with the exception of the one for Soul Siphon which gets me killed 9/10 times.

idk

It is pretty much a no brainer question. Fluff question at that.

Remove cast times from all abilities, not just ults.

Oddly enough I didn't have that problem until I L2P.

Sorry but you aren't going to shut down peoples' opinions just because it doesnt mesh with yours. The whole "this is spam" argument won't fly here but nice try.

Nobody who actually plays competitively likes cast times.

They just seem annoying and clunky. I'm mainly a PvE player so I can't speak for PvP scenarios but at least in PvE removing cast times would be really helpful.

As in real life, polls are done periodically to see if opinion changes.

Rarely do i ever see such bs, the forums hardly have words of wisdom in them, but this post you just made, is frankly dumb as dumb gets.

The 3 to 4 abilities hitting at the same time is just your usual animation cancelling propaganda from people who do not understand how it works, or do not like it and want it removed so they continue to spout the same nonsense over and over.

Second, adding the cast time doesn't really do much for damage but it does make the ability feel worse.

What you said is pure nonsense.

You cannot cast more than one ability at a time on the gcd, period. Proc sets can proc damage at the same time you cast something, so this change literally does not do anything aside from making some ultimates feel worse to use.

Literally everything you said is wrong, not a single thing you pointed out is solved by a small cast time, and some of the things you pointed out are just wrong.

Im against the casts, but the fact Nightblade has all cast times apart from Shadow Ult which is useless at the cost of 200 Ult...

Either keep casts and give to all classes or remove them so we have the same playing field. The fact that you can line up a power of of that, 3x jab spams and an instant Ult cast before you can even get your incap strike off, the games BEYOND unbalanced in its current state.

As for Dawny and Onslaught, Dawny needs cast removed as onslaught keep the cast due to the power of the Ult.
