There is no such thing like "half of a second" in FFXIV. You never know what server think about toon's position. You never know what other players see on their screens. You even not sure in what you see on your own screen. You *love* walls of text? Check one about latency and positioning issues.

Want to DPS the *entire* fight? There are a plenty of solutions. E.g. switch tool in main hand and re-queue. Simple, right?
