Raze vs. Shield Barrage animation question

IvahnIvahn
in PvP Discussion
I was just curious as to which is faster? If both a lancer and a zerk are standing in front of eachother, which skill would land first if used at the same time?

I was under the impression that shield barrage was faster, but I have a lancer friend that says otherwise.

    Race animation difference could matter that.

    A lot of things come into play in that, I'm pretty sure shield barrage activates faster if used after a certain skill, raze has varying skill speed too. then there's things like self buffs and rolls on equips and like above, race animations (even if it was 2 baraka vs 2 elin the animations could be faster for one class and on second matchup faster on the other class) hopefully one of our tera game theorists will be able to comment as to how that all plays out.

    The deciding factor is your and your opponents ping, whoever has lower ping will hit first assuming shield barrage and raze has similar animation speed. If you have a high ping like me you will notice that you are always on the slower end whichever class you play. ^^

    @Ccoffee shield barrage doesnt have skill chains to speed it up, u might be thinking of spring attack or wallop.

    Thanks for the replies,

    I'm not really debating the issue about ping, rolls on equipment, or race. Strictly talking about the animation speed of both moves. It seems very obvious to me that shield barrage is faster, but to eliminate any sort of cognitive bias, i'm trying to gather others opinions on the matter.

    Yeah, I haven't played lancer in a while. Skill names threw me off. You're talking about the main attack thingy vs a kd skill, and all things equal, races have different animation speeds so you can't possibly have one without talking about the other, like I said before two baraka could use the skills and one class would be slightly faster and then two elin could use the skill and it could change. Things will Never be equal in pvp tho, so there's that.

    Raze isn't a kd skill, both are staggers. Race doesnt matter to me though, so we can assume both lancer and zerk are elin if that makes this easier to digest.
