i get off 7 (mostly) to 8 (if i'm lucky with responsiveness) Bloodpacts while unter the effect of Astral Conduit. 30 / 7 = 4,29 seconds not sure where you get your 6seconds from. btw the BP is actually calculated at the beginning of the attack animation, not at the end so you can start your next BP right at the end of the "TP move readying" animation

THE INTERNET only adds 0.3 seconds for all but the shittiest connections. Also, JA delay does not necessarily matter here as it happens after your JAs.

THE INTERNET is not a constant connection.
No one has that.
It's a fluxuating thing, hence why lag occurs... even if that's only due to the user end... that's still a part of the grand beast of THE INTERNET.
FFXI even has an internal ping counter up in the top left corner... no one's is a constant number.

Yeah.... but that has nothing to do with a normal ability start >>>> ability animation >>>> ability end.
And surely you've noticed how quite often there's a huge animation overlap under Astral Conduit...
As to where I've gotten 6s from... it's the end-avg of activation to firing. 6s covers all BPs, but many are faster than that, and it's really more "6s before gear change"...
It takes account everything such that even under the most direst of lags, your BPs won't be messed up in your macros.
But that's just been my experience.
There also is some weird delay between damage dealt and the animation ending... at least that's been what I've found when trying to find the perfect gear swap times. (currently using <wait 2> /equip +dmg stuff <wait 4> /equip perp/idle stuff for most BPs... though some are lower (3)... a couple are higher (5)... Using other wait times has resulted in too fast gear swaps that results in the BPs not getting their full +dmg/MAB.)


But on to the new information....
bluh.
I was right.
She IS unfinished...
No favor, more BPs later....
BUT, as I already said, this is actually a blessing.
Now WE can influence Her development into something worthwhile.
Because while Matsui makes mistakes (he's only human) and might do things you don't agree with.... he DOES listen to the players. (also, pretty sure they've snuck a revamp for the Aht Urhgan Beastmen Leaders pop time in this update.... a full devtag announcement for Campaign being adjusted... but no word about these mysterious NM pop adjustments? smh)

Um, last I checked that wasn't ping. I believe that's how much data has been sent and received over some period of time.

And there's something wrong with your connection if you're getting a 1 second ping. When I ping yahoo.co.jp I get an average time of 123ms.

Satellite.

Arguing that it's 100% client side when no where in this world is anything perfect..... Let alone does anything ever start at 0.00...
This is an absurd argument.
1s is going to cover everything. Your fingers reaching for the keys, the server being dumb, your computer being dumb, a satellite being dumb, the internet being dumb... DEAR GOD are there so many variables that make your "always 0.23s" utter BS..

Or maybe you just live in the Pleroma...
But for us lowly mortals that have to deal with mundanities called imperfection..... I could see how you would believe that any delay would be 100% client... What with living in the World of Forms after all.
