Skill/Spell Speed Should be Removed from Gear

[Jeeqbit]

Skill Speed and Spell Speed should probably be merged because jobs such as Paladin and Dark Knight have some spells and don't always benefit from the extra speed.

But I don't see a good reason to actually remove it.

you have made literally every other piece of materia completely useless in the process.

You would still be melding other types of materia in slots you don't want to put SKS/SPS into.

the end-game stats on gear are simply a part of balance. they know people just spend their days min-maxing everything as much as they can and so a lot of the time equipment is there not just to help you but to also impede you a bit so you remain in line with everyone else.

I don't really agree with your premise, but having the wrong SKS/SPS actively changes how the game feels to play, whereas having a lower crit stat just means you do less damage. I can understand hindering people by giving less crit or less determination, but I feel that people should be able to choose their own SKS/SPS regardless of how far they are from BiS.

This is another change I'd like to see in the near future.

I believe PLD/DRK and other Physical DPS/Tank spells is based upon Skill speed and not spell speed, it may sound odd, but it would had made little sense for the devs to make a job 'relieable' on a class off stat.

PLD\DRK spells ARE linked to SPS instead of SKS, and yes it is really stupid and people have been complaining since forever.
