If battle prep isn't going away maybe we could remove the long animation? It's annoying to have to hit the skill but I think it would be a lot better if the animation wasn't so long.
The plan is to shorten its animation a bit. As a note, this is one of the errant animations which was actually being sped up or slowed down with your movement speed, so using it with Forced March on has been much faster than not. Going forward, it will be unaffected by movement speed, but should be faster than it was before (faster than with forced march on).
