SMN rejoice. I do wonder how insane it would be on mnk and nin dots.

The real question is whether or not it will affect HoTs too. Would give a useful stat for WHM to focus on like SCH has with Crit

Omg....

Best... Notice... EVER!

Imagine a Summoner with Fey Glow?

Imagine nin+mnk with fey glow. Smn's gets boosted as muxh or even less than some classes so I don't understand why people say smn will be op

That would make it too strong for WHM, as spell speed is already a great stat for WHM and already the top priority stat for many WHM players. Not that it would really matter, cuz stats are not that big a deal for healers.

By many, do you instead mean...two? Maybe three? :P

I joke, but seriously, Spell Speed deserves any love coming to it as far as WHM is concerned. Right now it's a complete garbage stat for everyone but BLM.

I think it's going to be a small bump to help DoT based jobs close the gap a bit with non-DoT'ing jobs and probably won't that pronounced so it will provide actual benefit to BRD/SMNs and they won't look to minimize the stat outright. Other jobs it will be more or less the same. Imagine how broken BLMs who already stack SpS would be.

So current LB3s would be to their respective classes

Mighty Wall -> GLA/PLD
Final Heaven -> PGL/MNK
Breath of Life -> CNJ/WHM most likely

The Japanese simply says that overall DoT damage will increase, so I'm wondering how Speed will actually affect it; will it be more ticks or will it simply increase damage per tick like a second Determination...

あくまで例ですが、DoTに対して効果を及ぼすようになる、などです。たとえばスペルスピードが高ければ、そのぶんDoTダメージの威力が上がり、全体的なダメージ量が底上げされます。まだ調整中ですので明言は避けたいですが、これだけを見ても、スペルスピードの重要性がかなり高まるので、各ジョブでの重要パラメータには変化があると思ってください。

The Japanese says explicitly, "just as an example, it will have an effect on DoTs. So for example the higher your spell speed is, the more damage your DoTs deal, raising the overall damage total. We're still making adjustments so I don't want to give specifics, but just by this example you can see that the importance of spell speed is getting quite a boost. So we can say that all the jobs' important stats will see changes."

Right, but it also says it isn't set in stone yet, so who knows?
