    Global Cooldown

    I purchased FFXIV about a week ago. I was really impressed and still am; some things about the game are great and maybe the best out there. But does everything on mages share a 2.5 sec global cooldown?

    If so, not sure I'll continue playing the game, which bums me out... Or maybe it gets better? Just seems kinda slow...

    For THM/BLM this core aspect of cast time won't change =x
    It gets faster as you stack up more skill/spell speed but it'll still be there.
    It would not be felt as strongly as you start weaving in instant abilities.

    Global cooldown is 2.5s for all jobs. Mages get cast time as well that for some spells is longer than that. Spellspeed/skillspeed reduces the global cooldown and cast times.

    There are also various cooldowns available to reduce cast times(swiftcast(thm/blm - shared with all casters), ley lines(blm), lightspeed(astrologians), presence of mind(white mage), a rng based spell speed up based on pet criting(scholar/summoner/archanist)).
