I think I've figured out the source of 90% of my wrong keypresses.

Just curious - mind showing the data that you looked at to come to this conclusion? The data I looked at showed that on average (looking strictly at melee DPS), the fastest in FF14 are generally equivalent with some of the slower specs in WoW, not even on average.

Sorry, mine were generated taking APMs from 75th percentiles on warcraftlogs and fflogs, and then simulatively stripping the effects of haste/skill_speed/spell_speed from each, avoiding parses with rotational breakpoints that would lead to disproportionately higher cpm.

I suspect I accidentally allowed for simultaneously-executed macroed actions to be counted as one apm count on WoW's side, however.

With Haste accounted for, WoW beats XIV hands-down for apm for most jobs, excluding perhaps against a parse-lucky Bard and ofc WoW specs with spammable oGCDs such as FR.

It was a rough check in either case, of no more than a sample size of 2-3 per spec/job.
