    Everyone. We need cast times to be deleted.
    It’s the worst change in eso history.

    Speak for yourself. Just cuz the same people come in here and pat each other on the back calling for the return of something extremely broken doesn't mean everyone agrees with you.

    and so do my guild mates, friends, and even people in zone chat in cryodiil.

    you are asking to be able to instantly kill people in pvp.
    especially from stealth. just standing there and BAM Dead! no ability to have counterplay, no ability to even know they were involved in a fight.
    so the developers helped us and they said the following:

    Quote:
    Ultimate abilities are some of the most powerful abilities in the game. 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. You also can’t animation cancel them because we don’t want players to be able to instantly cast them anymore. They are just too powerful.
    End Quote:


    here is where the quote came from:

    they. were. right.
    it was too much damage, and it IS too much damage too fast and instant.
    instant death for most people unless your a Tank, normal builds just die instantly and its not fair to not even be able to know you were even involved in a fight ...

    Just instantly Die.
    that's just not fun and its not even pvp, its just foolishness.

    i hope they Never Ever remove those cast times and allow us to instantly die like that.


    Killing people instantly is impossible due to gcds outside of the magsorc curse frag wrath and meteor combo

    Unless u get desynced
    L2p anyways
    And if ur in a pvp guild then you just Zerg.
    L2p pvder
    This is why players who take empty keeps and 30v1 people shouldn’t have access to the forums

    When you can actually provide factual data and not just hurl insults at people who disagree with you, I can start taking you seriously, until then

    Cast times exacerbate the lag and desync they were supposed to fix. You think that players struggling to react fast enough can react to a random time interval between the Onslaught animation and its actual damage application?

    If occasionally being instakilled is the price of fast responsive action combat, so be it. ZOS needs to let players play to win, and stop listening to the potatoes who only play to not die.
