AST Anima stat allocation

[Taika]

That can't be right. I'm talking about noct and Benefic 2 (default CD 2.5s). Without all the SS I'd have to wait 2 seconds to start moving around, with all the SS load I have I can do that after just one. That seems pretty close to instant for me. And no, no arrow or fairy or trait proc. Or maybe I'm just so lag free that everything casts so smooth?

Well I can't really comment on how you feel about the issue or your experiences. The formula seems to be from this thread originally: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...a1&sh=522a3875.

Also I'm curious, does you mean SE nerfed SS? Because before everyone was nuts about SS, BLMs, WHMs, all wanted to load up and be the fastest, now it's useless?

SS was never good for any healers before HW either. In HW they actually changed it to affect HoT and DoT so in that way it's now better in theory. For BLM the reason to stack SS until certain point is their rotation (same with skill speed for DRG and WAR at least).

Everyone's gear decisions are of course their own. My wish would be that the discussions on the subject could be based on actual numbers and extensive testing, but since the testing hasn't been done and the numbers aren't known it's really difficult. Currently no one knows what's the actual difference between 1000 points of DET and 1000 points of SS in their stats, for example. All they have is what they feel or what they seem to experience, and that's not a reliable base for discussion.
