Long Global Cooldown since 7.0 - Good or Bad?

Good (3)

....especially for some classes

i really wish they would revert this back to normal and do not understand at all why on earth this was even changed :thumbdown:
some classes like paladin or summoner seem to have a lot of their skills excluded from GC while other classes like warrior or psionicist do not (well warrior has blood harvest excluded to be exact)
its especially troublesome if a skill looks ready, you have enough energy to do it and then the client still does not react (???) makes the game feel lagging even though it is not

also, there are some ccs which have a duration of 2 seconds; whats the point of them if the GC is 1,5... a 0,5 sec stun? does not really matter... im better off when attacking in 99% of the cases then (1% is when i interrupt a whirling warrior lol)

last but not least, gameplay became significantly faster with 7.0 due to new mechanics & skills; why make it faster on one hand and then slow it down artificially (with increased GC) on the other hand?
we all know i dont care so much for blance etc but some classes beeing affected by this really strong and others a lot less is not OK


i put a survey to make it easier to see what you all think about it


here is the corresponding part of patchnotes:

Quoted

Classes
General
Overall cooldown of all abilities equals 1.5 seconds.

YES i think so!
it feels horrible and destroys my gameexperience. i want to get rid of this nonsense too. before, it was way more comfortable and userfriendly, u could just press one button after an other and ur char was doin stuff, now u have to wait this horiffic half second longer.
i can only imagin they did this too for retarded pvpcashopaddicts with high runes as like the rest of the "update" makes it more valuable to put money in here instead of having fun with ur hybridbuild.

Some official statement why this was changed?
PLS make Tekians playable race. fix shipcanons!

Fully agree with that. I have always loved my healer but the GC is a real pain. The new timings and how long the spells last are also fail. I.e healer's flame used to be over 15s, now it's 6s - it doesn't do much of a damage.

I truly wish Allods could go back to pre-patch builds etc. but that won't ever happen. I do admit some changes were nice but in overall not..

Yeah, never liked it much. I'm used to running around shooting mobs in the face with holy energy with badass music pumping out in the background, but waiting 2 seconds between skills doesn't really let me get into any kinda rhythm.

7.0 ruined Kanye West for me ;(

Have to agree with OP on this one. Quite annoying to cast something and then wait for Global CD to dispel someone (By then they'd have already taken damage). I can literally text someone while waiting for GCD :/

Then they complain "Why didn't you dispel me immediately?" and your like -.- as it was obvious you were attacking or doing something else.
