I'm not really convinced that passive, always on speed boosts make a job feel fast to play. You feel acceleration, not speed. That's part of what makes Reaper satisfying.

Idk, NIN feels faster then RPR to me, but that might be down to personal preference, or just Ninjutsu in between maybe lol

This.

NIN's periods of acceleration include both through GCDs (.5s each for mudras and a 1.5s GCD for Ninjutsu itself) and --more importantly, imo-- highly oGCD-crowded burst phases, though. Either way, it doesn't rely merely on a +15% Attack Speed; such is by far the lesser factor.

It doesn't actually have that many oGCDs though, less then half the amount the DRK has even lol

But yeah you're right about the Ninjutsu having even lower GCD timers, I did forget they trigger 1.5s instead of the typical 2.5s, which speeds up the pace you do things in general.

Despite 20% speed boost from Greased Lightning, True Stike and Snap Punch make MNK feel extremely slow.
