Evasive Maneuvers and the slight hover it has when turning off Flight.

[Frozen Burn]

I have Fly and when I turn it off, I instantly drop to the ground.  This is perfect for timing my actions, especially in combat or just generally moving around.  

 

I get up in levels and add in Evasive maneuvers... but when I turn off Fly, I hover for like 1-2 seconds before I actually drop to the ground.  This is highly annoying, especially when I'm in combat and trying to time my actions accordingly. 

 

Heck, it's just annoying no matter where I fly and I want to land, but don't drop to the ground when I turn of Fly.  I end up thinking, "did I not turn it off - is there something wrong with my key bind?"  So I then press Fly again, which turns it back on making me hover more.  Then I have to turn it back off and just sit for like 1-2 secs more until I finally drop to the ground.  ....This is just SO darn annoying.  😄  

 

Is it possible to tighten up EM so that the "hovering" doesn't happen after Fly is turned off?

To be certain, can you confirm that you're actually hovering for 1-2 seconds, or it just feels like 1-2 seconds? Looking at the power data, at worst you should only see 0.75s of hover time, as that is the effect duration for the mag 4 fly Evasive Maneuvers provides you. It's possible to reduce the window by reducing the activation period and the effect duration from 0.5s and 0.75s, respectively, to something like 0.2s and 0.25s, respectively. But to make it instantaneous would require a lot of hacky work-arounds (unless there is something simple that I'm currently overlooking).

Hi and thanks for the quick reply!

 

I have no way to accurately time it.  So, I trust you and your data.  But from standing.  I hit fly.  Then turning Fly off, I can count roughly 1s before I drop, and my feet hit the ground at 2s.  So, I guess that is why it feels like a 1-2 sec process. 

 

If there is anyway to cut that 0.75s down to 0.25s, that would be a HUGE difference and I would be forever grateful (hopefully, others too).  🙂
