Skillspeed/Spellspeed the new META?

[Orbus]

while single weaving might be viable in isolation, the reason it's done is to fit as much damage as possible inside of party burst windows.

Let's be real here, this only applies in highly coordinated groups which is neither necessary nor likely outside of extreme content.
And I don't know how you equate quicker hypercharges, which is when the job deals the most damage, to doing less damage.
It doesn't matter that skill speed doesn't reduce the recast of heat blast because faster heat build up indirectly buffs heat blast by putting you in hypercharge more often, which also indirectly buffs ricochet and gauss round for the same reason.
220+150 potency every 1.5 seconds five times, that blows everything else in the kit away by a landslide and that includes reassemble drill/air anchor.

Look, I'm no expert at the job, but you can't just ignore the indirect effect skillspeed has on most of the kit just because it doesn't directly lower heatblast's coowldown.
