    Also What was the purpose of having skill speed 490+? Cause I see people talking about Twin Snake buff and if you don't have 490+ SS then you will lose it when using True Strike. I had over 500 SS and have now changed gear around I think I'm sitting at 457 w/o food and I think some food I use gives me a lil bit.

    But when I had over 500 SS I was burning through TP to fast in coils. Anyways with 468 SS I'm not losing Twin Snake buff, I have 1-2sec left when I hit the button.

    Edit Also I think I'm still able to put in Dots and not lose TS buff. I'll have to go check it out but I'm pretty sure its in.

    492(?) Skill Speed gets you to an even 2.0s GCD, which people believed they needed ( theoretically) to be able to use True Strike and maintain the Twin Snakes buff.

    Not only is it unnecessary to have a perfect 2.0s GCD to maintain Twin Snakes buff while using True Strike, it is generally unnecessarily risky to use True Strikes in an actual raid environment due to risk of losing the Twin Snakes buff due to mechanics, and the fact that you will be skipping out on it anyway every time you want to refresh ToD/Fracture or use Impulse Drive.
