Ability delay issue being looked at

One of my biggest concerns.

http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=141027

i died many many many times cuz i could nt cast my big shields & survive abilities when i was 20% health or below, sometimes i am out of combat and about to start an encounter and try to cast a group buff and it does not cast untill i spam press the button 10 times, sometimes i even move the mouse over the ability and spam click it too!!!! sooo annoying.

Same frustration here as well.
Cast an ability while moving. THe ability fires off and the animation starts to play. The animation decides to reset mid way and starts playing again.
For dmg skills that means, the dmg will not be applied untill the animation is over, which takes more time than it should!
What's worse is, for AoE skills, the dmg will be applied when the animation is finally over, but at the area around the spot where i was when i actually casted the skill! And since that takes more time than it should, that area is by the time the animation ends, sadly empty of opponents

And it is NOT a lag problem. Unless i have noticable lag (which is usually due to server prob) my skills are pretty much fired instantly.
Thats the best i can describe it.

Happy to see they took note of it.

about time
