Swift Action is a trait for job ability spamming jobs, like PUP and DNC, that are affected the most by JA delay. It reduces existing melee delay after using any JA.
For example: a PUP with 240 delay would attack once every 4 seconds. If a maneuver is used in that 4 second period, it adds an additional 2 seconds (120 delay) to the last melee attack. Swift Action lowers that additional delay by 15 delay, with higher tiers of the trait lowering it more (-15, -30, -45). Swift Action caps at 50% reduction (60 delay). (Gear effects would fill in the gap between traits and cap. Deluxe Animator would then have a hidden bonus of -15 delay.)
Swift Action trait levels:
PUP 50, 75, 99
DNC 50, 99
(and perhaps other jobs)
