I'm bored when I heal because I need more complex DPS rotations

Something I've said before is if we get haste buffs back, and you give me a haste buff while I play dancer, I will make a macro for clicking off haste buffs with a passive aggressive /p message.

"I appreciate your attempt to make my rotation drift, but I have chosen to exchange your attack speed buff for a better gift."

And that's why I'd make any 'haste' buff be an Autoattack speed buff rather than a GCD speed buff. More 'boring', possibly, but it captures the essence of 'going faster' without mangling people's rotation alignment. Plus, Riddle of Wind already exists and shows that it's a thing that the engine can do

Not sure how you'd make 'haste' viable to a caster, without it messing their alignment up too. BLM is fine cos it's BLM, but SMN's summons are 'spells' so they'd get sped up too, and RDM would overcap on gauge too soon for it's burst window

Reduce cast time without reducing recast time. It adds more safety and mobility without affecting rotations. Summoner gets screwed over because they have neither good auto attack damage or cast times, but getting screwed over is pretty on brand for summoner.

That’s also why in my SCH proposal I made fey wind an auto attack buff to evoke the feeling of old fey wind, it’s about the closest you can get without anyone being annoyed by anything

That could still mess up classes that sit on the edge of speed tiers that give specific weave windows, imagine clipping because the SCH sped up your casts

Wouldn't not reducing recast times mean that it could only make weave windows bigger, not smaller?

My hot take about RDM part is they could've been fine potentially with Haste if SE kept the niche from the old Enchanted Reprise that is a "situational DPS gain"-use of a button as opposed to today's "100% loss to use".

But lmao who am I to kid. Variety? Not in my small indie game!

If they wanted to bring haste effects back, they could fix this RDM issue with a little bit of creativity. Like creating a 3rd finisher to go with Verholy and Verflare, maybe call it Vergravity or something, make it consume white and black mana instead of restoring it. That would fix any overcapping issues from haste effects on RDM.

As for SMN, nothing can fix that abomination, just spam more Ruin III I guess?
