Skill Speed now affects Auto attack rates.

ahh kk, yeah to be honest I was thinking of going with "direct damage boosts" where I can, without really sweating it too much if i end up with things like Skill speed for now anyways. This overall seems more like a push to normalize what they do offer by "weight" while still offering "build" diversity by stat as gear progresses in ilvl. (ie getting enough to break softcaps etc) So seems more to make sure no stat is just a "waste".

NIN lost their debuff, It's PVP set now.

Nah it was a tooltip error, the Slashing Debuff comes along Shadow Fang's DoT.

I don't think SAM "needs" SkS since it has a GL2-like haste buff to keep up. So it's not that slow. But either way, it doesn't look like it's limited in what stats are prioritized. Not like what MNK looks like now.

SkS being a priority for Sam would not be surprising. The faster you can attack, the faster you get kenki, the faster you get kenki, the faster you use oGCDs. It may not be as big on the list as say... Mnk or Nin, but I don't think it will be a backburner stat.

As a priority tho? I don't see it. Not saying it couldn't be done. But raises the amount of damage per hit is better for a class with base potencies that high. I feel like Sks doesn't scale as well as Crit/Det. If that changed, I'd agree but I don't think it did all that much. Even with auto attacking being effected (whether it's a detriment or not, is to be seen, I think it won't be).
