    This would be a gimmick that would probably be barely be used:

    * Monks exist and attack super fast
    * The % can't be small or it would be worthless to use
    * If the % speed is significant, square would destroy the potency in skills negating the benefit

    Maybe casuals and people trolling would use it to mess around, but that's about it in my opinion.

    I can see lot's of low level players stuck with boring rotation using it. Imagine coming from WoW and having to suffer longer GCD as well as boring rotation for a long while, as you're starting out.

    So FFXIV should change to cater to people coming from other games? FFXIV has a 2.5 GCD because it was designed to have smooth and aesthetically attractive looking skill and spell animations. WoW animations are boring and basic because the GCD is so fast they can't make them last on screen for a long time. Imagine if the GCD was 1.5 or 2s, spells like Flare or Scorch would have to just be basic fireballs that flash for a second and then vanish. With a longer GCD you can have cool looking weapon attacks or elaborate spell animations.
