So basically only "cast"ers don't have a true insta-"cast" skill

Any skill that is instacast will be instantly cast, there may be minimal delays if you are chaining them together but much in the same way all other classes will have.

Except for melees if its instant cast u can melee while its being casted, while mages dont have that feature. Why cant we cast skill while casting one? Like 'queue' them. Protues for example can cast repairs and rotor at once, repairs and freeze at once and rotor and freeze at once. Freeze from Proteus is instant and casted in the middle of another skill being casted.

Firebolt is supposed to be an instacast skill, meaning 0 seconds. I have to wait for an animation before the next skill cast starts which loses a lot of dps. More so than any other class

"u can melee while its being casted" Do you mean auto attack while it is being cast?

You can queue one skill after another but they will be added to a queue and used one after the other.

Mob skills vs player skills are very different, mobs after all are on the server whilst players require client server communication.

I'm pretty sure last time I played mage If i cast firebolt then click firestorm it starts casting even during fire bolts animation, if it doesn't the skill order is the other way round, one way starts the skill during the others animation and the other waits for it to finish. If this doesn't work anymore somethings changed, I fact I'll go try it right now just to make sure I'm not lying to you

Yes when I say melee I mean an auto attack. For example, Pummel's animation is very quick, I can continue using my auto attacks as soon as it impacts unlike most animations, same for Quick Strike. Mobs are perhaps different, but other than Proteus all mobs work like players, using same skills and mostly same damage types. Life steal on necro is the same (was originally poison dmg too) but changed to AoE and now cold damage. Dragon Fire = Incinerate, Rotor Blades = Sweeping Blow with the added effect.

Overall boss mechanics are far superior to the players', casting multiple skills fast and at once while maintaining high auto damage even if its a caster boss (bladewing, gelebron, necro, somewhat the dragons), having heals almost all the time (skain, necro, hrungrir, proteus, necro from spirits too, gele from crystals, aggy from dragoncults and mordris from priestess), while Protues is the special one, casting his freeze with no alert or interval between skills. Try doing Proteus when ur about to run from his rotor blades when hes enraged and he freezes u as soon as u try to run, while his rotor is being casted. Try to Bash him Muldar to stop his repairs when he freezes u during bash and casts repairs a second after. Also why do crystals heal not just once, but multiple times every 5 secs from their first heal? Priestess doesnt do that, nor do dragoncults, hrung heals every 30 secs and has few secs casting time, this event's boss also heals in a long interval between each heal.

Other way around isnt good, Firebolt is always first in a mage's order.

You may slightly lose burst damage - if you are casting in a rotation where you don't constantly have them all ready at the same time then the DPS lost will be minimal.

But much like every other class as soon as the fire bolt is fired your next skill is charging and you auto through out the animations.

yeah I'm lying ignore that, I must be thinking of another set of skills that do it though because I remember the fact one way worked instantly and the opposite didn't
