Proposal
I propose to remove the 1 second cast time on Firearm Strike and make the ability cast instantly.
Justification
Firearm strike on live if I recall correctly did not have a windup and was instant cast.
Motivation
The use of this ability is very clunky due to the cast time and because of that it is very rarely used. If the cast time were removed, the ability would see more use.
Firearm Strike is a very unique ability as it is a ranged skill that is used as a melee attack. If the cast time were to be removed, it would make this ability more commonly used and add a very unique melee/ranged hybrid playstyle to Pistoleer without the clunkiness of the ability in its current state.
