Found this so called "leak" on gamefaqs

I'm really not expecting SAM this early. But if they did reduce the GCD to 2 seconds before Skill Speed it would eliminate one of the major gripes this game gets; slow combat.

DPS usually have to weave 2 oGCDs. so there's downtime. There's also the fact too MUCH speed kills TP for melee. Unless combat/TP is re-done, a faster GCD isn't happening. DRG already hits 821 right now in full Shire and that's the dead zone...

I meant specifically from an outside standpoint. Nearly every review this game gets mentions it as the slowest combat ever in a MMO, and I've heard that gripe several times from friends from WoW that play on and off.

I however play a MNK and DRK; I'm never not hitting a button. However with changes to the battle system happening who knows what changes we could see.
