Skill / Spell Speed Weight Balancing

[Odowla]

Yes, Haste is really rediculous in MMOs that have it, because it usually makes DoTs tick faster, and you also get to attack rediculously fast - so on classes similar to BLM where resourse management isnt a thing, they just scale to the point of absurdity.

Even when hitting ridiculously fast though, it's not necessarily the highest weighted stat. Heck, it usually isn't... If anything, the longer, more rigid rotations of FFXIV compared to other MMOs is what gives it its largest potentially advantage, especially among melee dps, where the proportional frequency of lesser/derivative abilities can be reduced in favor of stronger attacks.
