Question for DRG on Skill Speed

[Ayvar]

Thanks for the stat weights Jet.

In looking at the Rotation Reborn's BiS, I have noticed they changed several of the old BiS from 2.0. The changes I saw were exchanging determination and crit for skill speed. While these stat weights show that determination and crit are more significant than skill speed, what is the reasoning behind these changes to BiS?

The reason was the lists had to be re-generated to reflect the new stat weights. The guide has now been updated with the new weights, and BiS lists based on current progression and desired accuracy.

BiS is very dynamic, it depends on the amount of accuracy you are shooting for. The guys in Rotation Reborn are working hard to find the true accuracy cap, so we can use ONLY that much accuracy, and spend the rest of our stats on dps.

Here is a list of BiS for various accuracy levels, thanks to KrystalF

Personally, I don't like skillspeed as it just burns TP faster at the cost of having less of your damage-increasing stats like crit and determination. I think most people feel the same. It would be VERY desired if it worked like speed/haste in other MMOs and slightly increased TP gain to compensate with the faster ability-use.
