Cast times

Ignoring snipes and Assassin Strike (which is essentially a melee snipe) what attacks in the game have the longest animation times?

Longest cast time is 20s, for the base raid 'Deploy Pylon' power. But base raids aren't available.

After that is 17s cast time, for things like Pocket D VIP Pass, Mission Teleport, Base Teleporter, etc.

The Particle Cannon from the Abandoned Sewers trial has a 15.67s cast time.

Black Market/WW teleporters have a 15s cast time.

Self Destruct has a 10s cast time. (Really?!?!)

Finally, the longest in-set cast time is Time Bomb, in Traps, at 9s.

Edit: It looks like the slowest attack, for players (which isn't a nuke or snipe/AS) is Propel, from Gravity Control, at 3.5s




Edit2: For the opposite question (fastest, barring auto powers), it looks like Hibernate is the fastest casting player power, at 0.07s, with Gambler's Cut as the fastest attack (0.67s)

Thanks. That was exactly the confirmation I needed. I may check a few of the nukes just to be on the safe side.

Oh, there are nukes which are slower than Propel, but I figured you'd want to exclude them.

Propel may be the slowest attack in the game but 0h-so-worth-it.

Smacking a Freakshow Tank in the noggin with a pool table just

never

gets

old.

And really, Total Focus is 3.3 sec, so it's not THAT much slower than the next fastest attack.

Full Auto is 4 sec. Thunderous Blast is 3.7. (And that's what I would consider the slowest "nuke")
