skill-/spellspeed, why is it still here?

[Shioban]

Is it too much for SE to admit the stat is a dead stat, but it takes too much time to figure out what to do with it (remove it!?)?

Try using WHM with "basic" level 50 gear.
AF gear, 45-50 dungeon accessories.

Then try WHM with an optimal balance of SS/Crit and get back to me.


The difference is HUGE.

Every job avoids it because for every job it means avoiding it is better than having it.

Finding a balance of Speed versus Det/Crit can work to your advantage.

There's a point where SS is pretty much pointless, finding the exact point where your GCD benefits then leaving it at that hovering point works fine. Completely stacking SS is pointless, yes. Avoiding it altogether is even more pointless.
