It's worth noting that similar values of skill speed have less impact post 50; so despite the claim there's just more skill speed, there... actually really isn't.
(There's also been some discussion among dragoons in my FC about skill speed being more valueable now due to the impact on Blood of the Dragon combo rotations but that's up in the air still and mostly tangential)

That said, they're already a hasted class. I do feel for you guys.
