Can spell speed, and skill speed be combined into singular haste stat?

[Jeeqbit]

I have thought this as well, because some jobs like PLD, DRK and RDM have a mixture of Physical and Magical attacks which results in either stat being even more sub-optimal than other jobs.

While they're at it, can they please buff haste/speed? It's an interesting stat.

I think it is worth noting that the increased speed means more GCDs in the same space of time (and thus more opportunities to crit/dh). It means more resource generation on most jobs, which means more gauge spend, all of which means lots of extra high-potency attacks. So it does achieve extra damage in this way.

In my experience I've been able to make a job feel significantly faster with this, shaving off around 0.4 from the 2.5 GCD. It could be possible to reduce it further but I think that is pretty good as well.
