    Not a PC thing.
    It's all about how the GCD and oGCD work.
    When you use instant cast spell, you have to wait until it's ready again (2,5 max and less depending on your Sps/Sks) before using another GCD action. That's the perfect moment to "weave" oGCD, which as it says, have their own Cooldown and can be used in between those small times.
    The more action you can do, the more efficient you will be. Trying to throw as much GCD action as possible, as well as oGCD is what makes the difference.
    When you "clip" your GCD, you "loose" time. Your GCD is ready but is "frozen" by oGCD animations and so, it's delayed.
    Ast has a lot of oGCD. Its entire Card system is. Anytime you to draw, redraw, Spread/MinorArcana/RoyalRoad, you'll loose so many seconds you could have used for the GCD.
    That's why we talk about fluid gameplay.

    Currently, what Ast has :

    - Combust II (but every 30s).
    - Aspected Benefic = The shield/regen, but can't be relied on because of the high mana cost.
    -Lightspeed = Great for healing, less for dpsing, still need to press another oGCD to get profit of the instant cast.
    - Swifcast = But every 60s and you might want to keep it for other usage.
