See, that seems equally strange to me. The average APM is just as high on many a XIV job as WoW class/spec, and the maximum over shorter windows generally higher. Outlaw Rogue with haste buffs up, Flurry Fury, and Deadly Calm - Focused Rage Arms (RIP) were about the only WoW classes in Legion that could put out the same APM as a NIN, Crit-high Bard, or SkS Monk.

Is the GCD, rather than number of button-presses within a given minute or second, our only metric for speed of combat?
