Reducing Pirate Skeleton animation

This has probably come up before but...
So everybody who runs Pskel knows that when it procs in combat your skills can get stuck, drop block and lead to a pretty quick death.
This glitch is caused by animation, not the skill itself. Just my opinion but Zos needs to change the animation or otherwise you're forever trapped wearing the skeleton polymorph if you want to use the set.
**wearing skeleton poly stops the glitch**

    Right but aren't those disable in PvP? Or maybe I'm thinking about something else.
    Also really hoping they put in a real solution instead of using the poly or a disguise.

    Disguises are indeed disabled in PvP sadly...

    Doesn't the skeleton polymorph prevents these issues?

    Yep, stated that at top of thread.
    I'm hoping for a fix better than being forced to wear the polymorph.

    there's only one disguise you can't use in cyrodiil and the disguise says it in the description, the Kollopi Essence. I run pirate skelly and i use a disguise. But honestly i still feel this doesn't work, i still get locked out of my abilities but i guess it shall stay for now.

    So far the only real solution I've found is wearing the skeleton polymorph. Disguises work but still get locked out sometimes depending on lag.

    Skeleton polymorph doesn't fix it. Even though you don't see the animation, it still causes your block to drop and locks you out for a split second.

    Easy way to test: wear the disguise/polymorph, start taking damage and wait until it procs. Hold block when its close to ending. If your block drops at the end of the proc = doesn't work.

    Until they fix the animation issue, they honestly should not nerf the set... people have been asking for it to be nerfed when in reality, playing with the set is a very frustrating experience. I wish it was like Blood Spawn in terms of animation... blood Spawn set animation doesn't interfere with rotation.

    I've played a lot in the skeleton polymorph and haven't seen any lockout or block drop. I'll test it myself later and see. Thanks for letting me know!

    Everybody cries nerf stuff. I hope they don't touch it because it's a bonus plus a negative. More defense with less healing. That's pretty straightforward to me.
    I'm looking into switching to bloodspawn+panacea ult instead to see how that goes. It's a high uptime combo since I spend a lot of time in mist form anyways.
