Attack Animation Speeds

Is there a way to give a unit a very slow attack speed like 3.5 seconds, but then when it attacks, the animation isn't drawn out ( as well as the damage from the attack ). It's pretty sad when you can run away right when you see the attack animation and then theyll miss you.

i think you wanna make it so when a unit attack u dont see the animation and no damage occur, u wanna add all these by urslef? Am i right?

Attack - backswing point and damage point. Also take a look at some of the animation ones near the top.

Ah, so thats what those are there for. Thanks!
