They wouldn't actually have to rework much at all, I don't think. Just make it so that pressing ability buttons works at any time and does not force your knight into an action and animation as it does currently.

+1 although it may cause some problems, like what if you use Maskeraith cloak while you have a weapon charged?

If we can't get seperate cooldowns then at least give us this please.

You wouldn't have to recode everything, this seems like a simple fix. Sprites didn't used to exist, they have to have been incorporated in a changeable way.

@Vindicar - Think about how much sense switching weapons mid-reload actually makes. (hint: none at all)

I mean that when you command your Sprite to do something, it has to play an animation. When your character is doing something like attacking, it's also an animation. Think about how you can't use Confetti while holding a Snowball.

I'm not sure how feasible coding this would be. But it'd be a mostly welcome change in my opinion.

Many of the sprite skills are on par with just flat out attacking them, and there isn't much reason to use them-- like fireball. If you use fireball, you can't use your sword/gun for a second or so. This makes it challenging to find a place for- should I use the fireball? Or just charge up my gun and shoot that? Or should I just shoot normally? And in the end, behaving normally and not worrying about the fireball tends to win out.

Other skills would be way too strong with this. Take for example the blitz needle-- if I run up and charge attack vanaduke head on, I deserve to take damage. But if I can use a sprite skill like seraphynx's aura skill while I'm firing my blitz needle, then there are effectively no repercussions. That said, the only really broken skills would be the above mentioned aura skill and mask's invisibility skill. All of the others would be fine.

So perhaps apply this to everything but those 2 skills?

Firebolt is good when you're running or chasing something. You cannot use your sword but you don't slow down. It's also good when you only have 2 weapons and one of them is a bomb. You want a gun sometimes without carrying one, ya know?

I'm not sure what I think about using sprites just willy-nilly. What I think is that you should be able to use it while shielding, but nothing else. Then I could shoot a fireball without putting my guard down.
