I'd say 99% of the time you save TP so as not to trigger "ruby" which as a consequence makes haste half as useful as what it should be, since haste no longer affects WS frequency like it should be. The "only" (though still great) benefit of haste is melee-dot-over-time and the lolz about killing a mobs 0.1 faster. Nevermind cleaves and brews where you gear is 100% useless. I forgot to add that 99% of the NMs you do are either done

* Turning your back until yellow is proced,
* Using gimp weapons to trigger red,
* Brewed in pack of 10 for reward/effort efficiency.

To make you rage a little more think about this : If a group A and group B try to build say FULL AF3+2 plus an empyrean, the fastest to get it will be the group that has the most movement speed. Mazurka > march. Discuss.

God I'm glad abyssea is over. Maybe we can use our macros now.
So what was the point of min-maxing in Salvage again? As soon as you can clear it consistently (not hard), it is useless. Gear is 100% useless on cleaves? Yeah, cause Charged Whisker oneshots without gear...

Whatever you like to think, min-maxing still helps a great deal and saves a lot of time. FFXI as a game has never been remotely challenging enough to REQUIRE min-maxing... nostalgia goggles again.

That's funny, I would've thought the group that used March on fights and Mazurka in-between would do better.
