The Spear?

Is it really that good for some DPS classes though? On paper it sounds good, but by lowering their GCDS, it is essentially throwing off their rotations. Don't get me wrong, I know after time some DPS could adjust to it, but when I think of say, a Dragoon class, decreasing their cooldowns might not line up well for their rotation. At least, it would be an interesting thing to look into haha.

It doesn't lower their GCDs, but their off-GCD spells, like Jumps, Ninjutsus, Quick Reload and so on.

Don't know if this was what Ashe was referring to or not, but there was someone on the second page who thought SE should change Spear so it effects GCD skills, which would indeed be a bad idea.
If anything they could at least allow it to shave the amount of time it would have reduced off the skill for oGCD skills that are already on cooldown.

It says Abilities, not weaponskills/spells. So it's pretty much everything that is not on the global cooldown.
