Guild Wars 2

One of the major benefits of CPC is that it’s a projectile destruction. However it’s very difficult to use this projectile effectively outside of scripted encounters because of the prolonged cast time on the skill that inhibits our ability to get the skill off in time.

CPC is our only real defense against thief headshot spam, or LB ranger bursts, yet getting CPC off against those classes is difficult to the extreme. Against thieves the cast will typically get headshot interrupted. Rangers can complete much of their pet swap > F2> LB2 burst combo before the cast goes off.

CPC should get moved down to a 1/4th second cast time.

Agree, CPC should be instant cast, like Wall of Reflection and Feedback. Most other reflecting skills are either instant casts or channeling skills.
