Combat Delay

✭✭✭
So I have been getting some unacceptable combat delay, especially in a game where blocking one attack is the difference between life and death.
Example: Fighting a 1 Mage and 2 Skeleton Warriors, Start off with a Burning Talons and 2 quick Rapid Strikes, decide to regain my stamina with Invigorating Drain(Vampire) on the Mage, Skeleton Warrior starts charging a strike at me, I attempt to block while still draining, nothing happens, I die.
Then I decide to figure out what just happened by testing a theory on a mob, by casting Invigorating Drain and then blocking, turns out it has about 2 second delay.
2 Second Delay is not acceptable in this game.
There are many other instances utilizing other spells against other mobs that have had a lot of combat delay, sometimes even flat out disabling my ability to use spells or fight back or even block, but that's a different bug.
If you are wondering about the status of my computer, I am running Windows 8.1 64bit pro fully updated, 8gb 1600mhz ram, i5 3570k @ 4ghz, 770gtx 4gb overclocked up to 1267mhz and the only other software I had running during that example was Firefox@google.com, ESO's launcher, ESO obviously and Skype minimized not in a call.
Edit: Also have ESO installed to a Crucial m4 256gb SSD with the latest firmware, getting approximately 70-90fps in the area of the example.

aipex8_ESO✭✭✭✭✭I don't think you can do anything while using drain, I don't think it's a delay, it's just waiting until the drain is done. The same with Rapid Strikes. I don't know how many times I will have just started the Rapid Strike animation and a mob starts charging up a power attack and I'm holding block praying that the RS animation will finish before he swings... usually it doesn't

Daethz✭✭✭If thats true they need to allow us to stopcast otherwise these abilities are trash and should simply be removed from the game entirely.Waiting, and watching, for the return of Melee Weapons.
