Prestige Blackwand animation dead time

[srmalloy]

Something I noticed with a new character in Outbreak is that the prestige attack Blackwand appears to have a 'dead time' at the end of the visible animation. What is happening is that your character seems to freeze before the next power triggers. If I activate Apprentice Charm, and hit the key for Blackwand while Apprentice Charm is animating (queueing up the power), as soon as Apprentice Charm goes off, my character pulls out the Blackwand and starts its animation. If I reverse the order, queueing up Apprentice Charm while Blackwand is animating, the animation completes, Blackwand fires, and then my character just stands there holding the Blackwand until they realize that they have an attack queued and start the animation for it. I get the same thing when following Blackwand with other powers; there is a 'dead spot' when the animation finishes before the next power can activate. This could be fixed by either changing the animation speed so it matches the root time, or adjusting the root time to match the animation speed
