How does everyone feel about skill speed?

It's more or less never better to delay the GCD.

You're basically saying you're considering the guaranteed loss (delay) of, say, 1.0 seconds out of a [checks class context] 2.4? GCD. That's a loss of 42% of an attack.

In order to increase the coverage of the DOT debuff by 1.4s. DOTs tick every 3, so that's a 1.4/3s = 47% chance of picking up 1 tick of 20/35/45 potency DOT. 42% of a 150 potency Heavy Shot > 47% chance of a 45 DOT tick.

This isn't a truly accurate way of assessing the change in DOT coverage, but it's "eh" in the ballpark.
