Consolidation of Skill Speed and Spell Speed into a singular stat

[Jonnycbad]

Call it Agility or Haste or something (but make it not affect auto-attack delay). Just consolidate it into a single stat, because a few jobs use both (PLD, RDM) it makes more sense to just consolidate them into one than have 2 separate.

Practically what I suggested before of you in my proposal for overworking the Attribute System with my version of Dexterity

Not it having affect Auto Attacks ist pointless, most caster have no auto attack at all, except the redmage, because he has a weapon to deal close ranged attacks with it.

Is there a reason why them being separate stats is a bad thing?
They're always used exclusively anyway. Just like each jobs main stat, Vitality, Strength, Dexterity, Mind or Intelligence.

100% support this. PLD and DRK would benefit the most from it since both use Spell GCDs (PLD has problems hitting a perfect 60s rotation due to spells being 2.50s and DRK cant use 5x Unleash / Stalwart Soul under Blood Weapon without it falling off after 4th).

RDM in fact doesn't bother with this since the only attacks that would be affected are all the unenchanted attacks and Enchanted Redoublement since 1.50s is the GCD speed limit (most enchanted skills) and Enchanted Redoublement is 2.20s.

Not it being a bad thing, but PLD and DRK suffer a certain level of clunkiness due to their Spell GCDs not scaling with Skillspeed (obviously since they are Spells) and Spellspeed not being a native stat on tanks. See above post.

Whoa, I knew PLD had spells because they have casting times. I had no idea those DRK ones were spells too. Weird.

Yes, I would love to see them combine these two stats.
