Actually... like I said I think if you attach Quickarm Materia VIII to anything that'll take it, and make sure that each piece of gear that doesn't come with SkS has 120 points of SkS melded onto it, it might work out fine in the speed department. Like I said, I'm working on a rotation/opener built around this, and will definitely post it up when I've tested out its effectiveness on the Eulmore dummies.

HOWEVER, the problem is that while you can increase the speed all you like, there will still be two problems. One is getting that GL stack up in lieu of not having Wind Tackle anymore. The second is that you will still have points in your rotation where there will be an opportunity/window to use an oGCD, but none will be there, leading to the rotation feeling a bit "naked" at certain points. This is why I say one oGCD isn't enough because the one that would give a GL stack is just going to fill in where Anatman's server tick cheese is currently sitting (as that will no doubt be patched out sooner or later), and then you have that same problem later on in the rotation. This is why it needs two. The problem with Enlightenment replacing Howling Fist is that HF could be used in single-target rotations without having to sacrifice a tFC, so you could use both. Enlightenment being the new line AoE move sharing the chakra meter, instead of using MP, would have to be used instead of tFC, so it's not an adequate replacement. We need something else that can be used in its stead.

So, until further testing with max speed melds on the Ronkan gear is conducted, we'll have to put that on the backburner for now regarding stat redistribution. I still say that the best and most immediate course of action before we get into all of that is to implement Somersault and Axe Kick since their animations and icons already exist, and their tool tips pretty much fill the existing need, without needing to change anything else aside from their recast timers.

I say, test for that first, since getting into stat redistribution and potency adjustments is a big headache which might not be necessary if we just get these. It's cheap, easy and quick for the dev team to do.
