Thread: So... Why IS the GCD 2.5 seconds?

Oh, in 1.x was no GCD. Every skill had it's own CD. Between some seconds to 15 minutes.
You started the battle with 0 TP and each hit gave you around 100 TP (max TP was 3000). That mean that at the beginning of a battle you fought with only auto-attack until the TP was high enough to start with some weapon skills. Then with auto-attack again until TP was high enough again.
But in return only the first skill in a combo chain used TP.

I misread that and thought by 1.x you meant a GCD that lasted between 1.0-1.9 seconds.
