As for Skill Speed I was not suggesting it was a useful stat. I was simply saying that every tick you are losing MP, so the slower you swing the worse the overall MP drain is. Obviously if you optimize MP regen via Skill Speed you run into worse TP drain issues.

**3 GCDs @ 2.42 SS = 7.26s (2 Ticks) (2 * 127 MP loss = 254 MP : -3.66%)**

I disagree with your math here.

I believe 1 TICK is 3s, so 6s would be 2 ticks. At 7.26s per 3 Hit Combo, the 1.26s adds up to more MP loss than you state.

@2.42s GCD, cost is 1.4762% MP per GCD.
3 GCDs @ 2.42s = 4.4286%

Dark Arts (1768) - Syphon Strike Recovery (884 : 12.76%) : 1768 - 884 = 884 MP spent DA + SE Combo (-12.76%)
3 GCDs @ 2.42 SS = -4.43%
DA + SE Combo = 17.19% MP

3 Hit Syphon Strike (w/ Delirium or SE) = +8.33% MP
2 Hit Syphone Strike = +9,81%
Power Slash Combo = -4.43%
