And the reason is simply being a good chunk of other classes' dps coming from oGCDs. Yes, there are some tier but if you take DRG for example, it's not "anywhere between this and this GCD works" - you have specific GCD tiers and you can pick one which suits you best. SAM has the most freedom of the melees which is why it's not a good example to bring.

I never said you cannot meld any SpS/ SkS EVER.
I just said that it quickly loses value over crit - and that is a simple fact and why we have this "crit > all" meta when it comes to melding, BLM being the exception.
Well even if it just ends up being different tiers rather than full-on crit vs speed builds, I'd still love to see that option on more jobs. I don't know how it would look since that would depend on the job and would require some big changes but that would still be my pipe dream if they want to move away from crit being so dominant.*
