Is The Animation for Concentrated Strike Too Long?

I do wish it were a half second or so quicker.
The plastic tips at the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.

Maybe they could knock of another 1/2 second or maybe even a full second off this animation, I don't know? Does anyone else have this or any other type of powers that they feel the animations are too long before they land the punch or shot?

Do the math. Concentrated Strike has the best Damage/Cast Time ratio of any attack in the set. It's already the best attack you have, and you want it to be Better?

I would like a MUCH less silly looking animation.. PLEASE..
The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.
If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-

Oh I agree. I'm not complaining about this power and what it can do, just the "let me read a book and take out the trash then see what's on tv" time it takes from when I activate it to when it eventually lands on my target. I just suggested that maybe they could tighten it up a bit with the animation, that's all. |

Completely off-topic, but the tiger in your sig looks shocked and surprised to see that woman, which makes it more funny than I think was intended

It does the same damage as Total Focus, which has an animation time of 3.3 seconds.
Personally, I'd rather see a bit less time on Focused Burst.

If it were longer than 3.3 seconds, then I would understand the complaints.
