A certain amount of Skill speed is good to have, to fit abilities within Perfect Balance duration.

But if you can cllip like with BRDs bloodletter and they change it so Skillspeed increases regen, then things would get interesting in decided gear, more freedom of choice in preference of playstyle, hit harder but slower or faster but not as hard, SS+crit would lstart to look a LOT more attractive.

I suppose they could do something similar to what WoW did. Have haste effect melee, ranged, and regen. Makes it simpler and benefits all.
