Skill/Spell Speed Should be Removed from Gear

[AwesomeJr44]

It doesn't really grant more control. You can't get as much sks/sps from melds as you could with what's on gear.

Here is my proposed solution: remove SKS completely from gear's substats and make it something you get exclusively from melding with materia. This grants more control to the player to choose what speed they want to play at without restricting what kinds of gear they're allowed to use during prog or reclears. To compensate for this change, the values for SKS/SPS tiers would also be adjusted to require smaller amounts of the stat per stat tier.

I literally covered that point in my OP. Why do people keep responding without even reading what they are responding to?

It's not always about proper rotations. Sometimes it's fun to go fast.

Meld full speed.

I guess im confused though why you can't take the tome weapon as it would still be a DPS increase, especially the 660 weapon.

It doesn't play the same. That's why SKS/SPS is different from other stats. Having more Crit or DH won't change the way you interact with the game apart from how big your numbers are.
