High ping problems

[Absurdity]

That's really what I did say, but I think the developers probably intend it the way I said otherwise they would have been more considerate of ping.

Except the last time it was brought up they were surprised that ping was apparently an issue, almost as if they never even tested how the jobs play with non jp ping.

If you use it when Gauss Round and Ricochet are freshly on cooldown with 0 charges, you get a 90s reduction, putting them perfectly at 3 charges. You lose about 8 seconds + however long it took you to press Hypercharge + how long it took to press the GCD after Hypercharge is finished. With each being 120 potency, it's about a third of the potency lost, 80.

Which quickly add up over the course of a fight.

You also have to keep in mind the dps lost from not being able to align the oGCDs with party buffs, especially since the OP has trouble with double weaving as well.


We are specifically talking about optimization here, every bit of potency lost that you can't even fix by just playing better is an issue...an issue that players with low ping just don't have to deal with.
In your run-of-the-mill expert roulette it really doesn't matter if you clip some GCDs.
