Hammer of the Gods Animation Cancel

Hey team!

When you start the cast for the Warrior skill - Hammer of the Gods, if you roll before the golden ring appears to signal the start of the channel, the skill will cancel however the cooldown timer is still proc'd. This causes you to not get the skill cast, but also lose the CD.

That's not a bug. If you cancel your skill before it finishes its use, you'll already have spent the cost and cooldown when you started using it. You'll need to decide whether dodging at that specific time is worth losing your skill usage.

Not good enough. This thing has 1 year cooldown, if there should be a punishment for canceling should be at most 50% of the cooldown since the thing didn't go off anyway and most times I cancel it not because I try to dodge but because I try to cast another skill, which is lame that is allowed to cancel a skill with casting another one but there we go...

It would be good if the tooltip advised "canceling the skill will not refund cooldown" or something noted somewhere... It already feels bad to use, it feels even worse to "not" use.

I agree. It's not even only cancelled by dodge, but also by blocking. In a fast-paced game like this where you need to react quickly, there is definitely not always enough time to think if you can afford to dodge/block right now or not. Mana cost and CD should be taken once the skill starts, not before.
