The Exploit Vanguard's hacking ability.

Anyone else feel like it takes too long to actually pull off a hack? Especially against non-officer units (namely Ironguards)?

that is intentional,
Hacks actually apply debuffs during the hack process, so enemy officers get impaired vision and enemy units be come less responsive.
If the hack completes it effectively shuts down the target for around 10 seconds and in the case of enemy officers they lose their shield along with the vision debuff.

Its something you only really appreciate being on the receiving end of

Take too long? No. My main issue is the fact is if they break line of site for 1 nanosecond it causes it to fail. I would like for you to be able to trace for at least 1 second or half a second. It just feels unsatisfying when that happens. I'd even be okay if they did that and increased the time by an extra second.
