I'm currently at 372 and it's usually pretty close for me, particularly if I use a long animation move as my final hit. It's reasonable to assume that having between 390-400 makes a 5 hit PB all kinds of easy and isn't enough SkS to make TP a huge issue in long fights. Either way, it seems more difficult to avoid SkS this patch than in 2.1. We'll just have to see.

I just wanted to throw this in. I have 356 skill speed, and I can do 5 weapon skill from a fresh Perfect Balance while still weaving in my damage buffs and off GCDs. No real difficulty in doing it until it's a poor boss pull and it's moving around too much, but even with some movement getting off 5 moves, buffs, and off GCDs isn't a problem.

I dropped down to 356 just recently as well so previously my skill speed was 391 (I think) at the beginning of last week, and was at 441 until I bought the soldiery chest second week of 2.2. I haven't noticed any real difference in being able to do 5 skills under PB regardless of the skill speed involved. I'd get screwed by the same things regardless of my current speed.
