Should the animation for every skill be less than 1 second (Global cooldown) ?

I am going to give a magsorc example but i am sure other classes have some issues with it, too. I am getting into these situations where my opponent just spams one button and he can land a spammable every second but i cant keep up with using two shields one after the other. If i spam same skill, it casts in 1 second but i erase my old shield and it is not very helpful. When using two different skills whole animation plays and there are maybe over 1,5 s animations in the game. Shield animations are really long, as well. There are situations that i just cant use any kind of animation cancelling, which i dont like anyway. I am playing with a controller.

blnchk✭✭✭✭✭YesIf it's the only way to have our characters not animate like spastic lunatics who can never fully complete an action, then yes.6

ShadowKyuubi✭✭✭✭I mean, animation cancelling or shortening the animation won't save you in this situation. This is why you have stuns and roll dodges. Use either to buy yourself some time to get some other skills off. I mean that is their point, to give you a second to formulate a plan. If all you do is spam shield, then all your going to do is die, regardless of how long the animation is.

✭YesI agree with the animation length part. If were suppose to cancel the animations early anyway to get 1 ability every 1 second, then it would make more sense to just make the animations less than that second anyway since supposedly, no one should be waiting for them to play out.3 -

That’s fine, but tweaking rotations and specs because the animation person made an animation 1 second vs .5 seconds is dumb.
Animations are supposed to be fluff, not dictate game mechanics.Looking for any guildies I used to play with:

The animation being 1 second is irrelevant, there is still a global cooldown of 1 second before you can cast another skill.0 -

✭✭You mean decreasing the gcd or just making every skill animation less or equal to 1 sec so it doesn't get cut off by weaving?0 -

I think he means limit every animation to .8 seconds max or so, that way you can pop an ability every second and never have to animation cancel to increase your dps.Looking for any guildies I used to play with:

✭✭this is nothing more than a troll post from someone that has clearly no f$%k'n idea about the game at all (i dont care how many hours means jack all) if you seriously think AC is giving anyone an advantage then you need to take long cold hard look at yaself and argue with not only ZOS but 99% of the player base of the game...............stop trying to find other *** to fling when you run out of stuff, NERF this NERF that........the game is *** WAH WAH WAH f$%K sake grow up ppl its seriously getting sad and almost padded room scale (say hi from the basement ya famous atlast)0 -

✭✭YesUnless the skill actually extends beyond a single GCD, ie it has a cast time > the GCD, the animation should roughly fit inside the GCD.0 -

Wo there billy. Animation cancelling is an integral part of both pve and pvp. Not cancel hail of arrows? Yea sure...
You can get by without it as mag, as stam in pve dps it is absolutely required.Looking for any guildies I used to play with:
