No, I'm talking about normal attack which is skill 1, there's slight delay after you click the button before the attack begin. I am 100% sure it is affected by connection. When I got bad connection, there's huge delay like 1.0 sec after clicking the skill before my character swing the sword, and its significantly faster when I got better connection.
So for people living near the server DOES have a better advantage when attacking or using skills because of snappy response.
For your information, I'm talking about delay/response time after clicking the skill, not the casting time required for spellcasters, there's many skills and attack doesn't require cast time at all such as Thief.
Also, I know connection speed doesn't affect casting time at all ...lol
...... else people with good connection can cast a spell in 2sec that required 3sec 
?.
someone here actually understand my concern. thank you for posting this.So for people living near the server DOES have a better advantage when attacking or using skills because of snappy response.

...... else people with good connection can cast a spell in 2sec that required 3sec ?.everybody else saying no lag/delay are just oblivious to the major shortcoming of the game to oceanic players and are just mesmerized by the novelty of the game.
I just wish they handle latency differently. Like maybe in Diablo 3, although I get 250+ms, but most of skills are very snappy and instantaneous.

the cast bar fills up then only cast. first skill is unresponsive? the only thing to test it out is with proxy and feel the difference. Latency lag is like sometimes the animation is weird (symbol come out before my char bury her GS on the ground) or really slow casting like once press 3. the icon start blinking but no skills till about 0.5secs later. I admit pvp and wvw this latency is something. Worse case scenario, subscribe proxy.
To everyone else in this thread that feels unfair when playing with PvP. Go subscribe proxy. The Philippines (some of my friends) struggle with worse ms (around 500ms) yet playing better than us. I am a PvE guy so latency is nothing to me (latency, not request timed outs). Although with that said, I'm sharing line with 3 others currently and have not felt 300-400ms kind of latency before. I don't see why others are worse than me. Maybe people are exaggerating is all. No offence really. I understand that latency is after all important in an online game. So if it bothers you so much, what to do, until they finally decide to put a server here, you have to buy proxy to PvP if you want instant skills. Live's never fair. If not, train with latency, then when the latency is smooth, we pro. =x
as for me, i tried with and without proxy. feels really slight difference. my skills are all mostly instant cast. Note that the Proxy i used made my connection to Gw2 30ms-40ms.
huh? 30ms? what you smoking broTo everyone else in this thread that feels unfair when playing with PvP. Go subscribe proxy.
