Silver Bolts - make it feel better?

Hello!
Is everyone happy with the performance of Silver Bolts / Silver Shards? For me, even though I love the skill since beta (visually anyways), they feel very awkward and clunky to use. Even with my 60ms tops latency, the skill that says it's instant takes about half a second to fire and another half a second to hit target, meaning that in a large scale fights (like Anchors), I regularly NOT hit a full HP target because it dies before my damage can be processed over a second later (the wait for the damage is often as long as Snipe's, and that one actually has 1sec cast time).

I very much want to use it as a replacement for main spammable skill for at least the daedra-infested places, but it's so unresponsive that it either won't shoot itself, or not fire the following light attack and skip right to the next ability activated (unless you really wait for it).


Is there any chance to reduce the clunkiness of the skill by, for example, reworking the skill so it would work instead as a 'light attack enhancer' such as psijic Imbue Weapon, so the crossbow would actually fire the light attack's damage (and the skill's damage/effect) via the crossbow's shot?

    All ranged spammable skill has a minimum travel time to let the animation play.
    Silver Shards is a great spammable now at range and decent in melee. No need to change it to Crushing Weapon clone.
