Anyone who uses SP knows that it has an annoying delay after using it where you just stand still However, when you use SP on a rope, that delay is lowered greatly Explain please?

When you're SPing on a rope, you don't have that delay after, so you can jump shoot off the rope right after instead of standing there huffin' and puffin'. I don't know if for sure it makes a big dif, but I just like doing it. xD Edit: For sure, the dif. is not big enough where you should put some much effort into having to SP on a rope. At Zak, I do the rope SP thing, but if I'm not close to a rope, I'm not gonna spend time to FJ/walk to it just to get rid of the delay. xD

Bleh, I try to jump and use SP, it cuts down the time (At least in my head.) :P

Same thing happens with Holy Symbol: if it's cast on the ground, I can use Teleport about 2 or 3 times before I can manually move again. Hanging, it's cast, jump, and beam-spam.

It's because of there being no animation for using it on the rope or something like that

It seems like the same thing goes for mesos up, when buffed on the floor there is a noticeable delay although not quite as long as shadowpartner. I just buff on a rope if its close but if it takes 5 seconds to get to that rope its just best to buff where you are. And to WHY its that way... Im not sure but I assume it will never change as herms/NLs got no skill updates in the recent patch. No biggie
