Remove this stupid thing from the game, everywhere i go I never have this avail and when I really really need it to escape guess what? COOLDOWN, dunno if its bugged when try to tap hell fast V to escape and found 300 SECONDS COOLDOWN.
Suggestion - Remove this garbage ESCAPE cooldown from the game, if its really really need it then keep it to PVP, I have broke enough crystals based on this mighty garbage escape trust.
Then everybody are going to abuse Escape button like crazy (doesnt matter which type you're talking about). Just a big NO. Learn how to survive.
If you're using it that often in PVE, you're probably someplace you shouldn't be yet.
user skill issue
There is no reason to have such cooldown since they added the idle requirement+loading bar
Its not about using so soon, not to remove the cooldown entirely but to reduce it from 5m to 1m only in PVE like some skills work somehow in pve and different in pvp. If not, then to act like overall, no matter if you close game or switch chars or enter marni etc, a time drain like old moon / kama buffs. Its an abuse to protect your crystals in a critical situation? We are grinding all overgeared at Elvia Orcs for silver? No, even at gyfin after butcher phase, flamen can use maelstorm and if catch you in range and bye.
Rectify: Actually I was reffering to remove escape totally and not only CD, most of time catched me when I switch from world boss, chars, game crashing and so on, basically was never there when needed cause cd is 5m and not 1m or 3m, honestly who counts escape time after every switch?
