I am just wondering why spell speed is a bad stat for blm. This reduces cast time and recast time and we can by looking at the stat and cast/recast time find point per point and see its benefit. And yet we have no confirmed weighting on crit rate what percentage it increases our chance to crit.

SMN spell speed does seem to be a waste since ruin is the only spell that would benefit for a shorter cast time. Now if DoTs were affected by spell speed then that would change everything.
