    Becoz it's the only class that doesn't have the secondary effect of the spell-speed : Mana problems (or TP for physical classes with skill speed)
    But still, I like my build Max Piety + as much spell-speed as possible on my WHM.

    End-game fights in this game are like this usually : You heave almost nothing to heal for some times, and then, burst of dmg for 10-15sec, then relativly calm again for 30-50sec, and that's usually where the wipes are, more spell-speed you have, easyer those burst of dmg will be, and slighty more determinations, or crit rate, wont help me in those cases.

    The other problem, was also asking for ballad (witch reduce the dmg of the bard, that's not a good thing), if I can do without, even if ppl take avoidable dmg, or if I raise, this is a good thing, and that's why I play full Piety.

    No, it's because BLMs perpetually chain hard casts for damage, with occasional proc usage woven between said hard casts. Hence why the GCD and cast time reduction actually make a difference for them.

    If you want SS for a burst of 10-15 seconds use PoM will increase your SS more than any gear can.
