Misunderstanding Skill Speed

[Zaft]

For example, you want to use Inner Beast before Nael cast Ravensbeak. You have good skill speed to execute your mitigation. Which is good.

The problem here is that every fight is entirely choreographed. You know EXACTLY when that Ravensbeak is coming. You should be prepared for it. If you aren't sure of the timing, ask somebody, look it up, or record your gameplay footage and figure it out yourself.

IN THE FUTURE, if we get more randomized fights, Skill Speed may be more useful. For example, if Ravensbeak were used randomly within 20 to 40 seconds of it going off cooldown, we may want to have more Skill Speed so that we can use Inner Beast with regards to a full GCD being in effect at the start of the cast. But that is not the case now.
