If it were actually 5 that would be reasonable.It needs to be more like a flourish. But no delay penalty and can't be used on an autoattack.
That looks like you are not actually delay capped. You still need appropriate Martial Arts to reach the lower limit of 20%. The precise value needed will vary based on your weapon delay. Interesting that Hundred Fists did so little to it though.

Looked up my own Boost testing from when it went live btw. XD The total delay is actually 4x, not 3x like I was thinking, so minimum delay for H2H is actually 6.4sec. Tack on 80% of your weapon delay, and should be somewhere close to 7sec. To get up to 9-10 sec, you'd need to be missing MA/Haste somewhere. Minimum for DW was indeed 5sec and appeared to be a hardcoded limit. I personally agree that the delay is too high, particularly for the somewhat meager increase in damage provided (when compared to 30k-50k WS spam from others, +3k doesn't sound all that impressive.) My preferred fixes for it would be: lowering the delay from 4x to 2x for MNK-main, increasing the TP return bonus to 1k+, and widening the timing window for maximum output to 3-4 sec remaining to allow for lag and compensate for being unable to have precise measurements of buff durations remaining under 5sec. You have to admit that Boost would take on entirely new aspects if it could be used to self-sc if timed properly, and it feels really lousy that /MNK actually can use Boost better than MNK-main. ><;;;
