The long ass GCD is throwing me off. it explains why I do so decently on Bard but few other classes. my fingers want to push the buttons much faster than they'll allow me to and it results in mistakes.

It’s a bit jarrin’ if yer used ta how it works in other games. Fer at least the first 50 odd levels fer most classes, yer gonna be gropin’ fer keys that ain’t ready yet.
But don’t worry, there’s help. Ya can practice!
I suggest Paladin. G’wan an’ change ta that. Yer now in control of one of the most ponderous ponces ta process yer presses. After usin’ one of those abilities, ya now have an extended amount a’ time to practice patience. Here are some things ya can try:
1) Emotes
2) Alt tab to youtube and change the music
3) Drink/eat the dinner you were going to let get cold as the duty finder popped
4) Pet the pet yer neglectin’
5) Tweet yer rotation in real time
By the time yer 60, ya should have a good grasp on the 2.5 second pause an’ all the wonderful things ya can do during that time, an’ be more comfortable with the OCGDs as they come. G’ luck.

I've been practicing since I started mid Heavensward, I still want to push buttons too fast. I know my rotation, I'm just trying to press it much faster than I need to.
I've had similar issues as a SMN trying to time actions out for Demi-Bahamut's Wyrmwaves. I'm much better at it now than I was, but I'm still not perfect as I usually miss a potential Wyrmwave from clicking a button too fast. It doesn't help that the cooldown for WW is sort of set at an awkward interval, either. At least I'm not launching all my attacks one immediately after the other anymore and missing like four of them lol.
My solution was to ignore all optimal melds and attach quickarm materia V and VI to everything.
Don't be me, kids...unless you just really want to press buttons faster!
