It is so frustrating to be locked into animation for the several seconds it takes to pull out your sol and then to cast your first buff, so often interrupted. Often you get the buff cooldown without even getting the buff.
PA, please do something about the excessive animation lock that shai has.
You can cancel the swap animation using hotbar Sun's Fury and hopping in a direction while casting your first buff. I think there's a simplified version of this but it's what I use. It puts you directly into the buff animations and allows you to instantly cast all 4 very quickly.
