PLD Advice - Skill bloating?

[whiskeybravo]

You mean, Using oGCD and GCD at the same time?
I dont see much of a difference, you still have to wait about 0.2 sec for some animation before executing second action.
The delay between oGCD and GCD on macro and on 2 buttons is practically the same, test it yourself i did.
Look, take a spirits within and fast blade, combine them into macro, and on the second hotbar get them seperate, test it few times on dummy or trash mobs and compare.
Make it so the Spirits within will be used first and the fast blade, you will see the animation of spirits within on both combination ends at the exact same time, if you want i could obs it and show u.
I am playing on PC with a controller, maybe PS4 gets crazy when using macro idk, or maybe putting GCDfirst in order and oGCD second clips the animations. So far oGCD > GCD works well for me.

Again, there are occasions where you get lucky with the server tick and it's not as noticeable. There are also situations where it can cause your group to wipe, which is why I've chosen to avoid them for any particularly important abilities. This happened to me when I tried to use a macro for shirk.

Nevermind the fact that the above example is a horribly inefficient way to use Spirits Within. There may be times when you want hold Spirits so it fits into a FoF/Trick Attack window.
