    Unleash/Stalwart Soul - Drill/Bioblaster do not scale off of Skill Speed - Updated

    As previously posted by me, I had mentioned the 4 abilities above not scaling off of Skill Speed, but with recent testing I have opened up even more interesting tidbits about it.
    1. Machinest Drill/Bioblaster actually does scale off of Skillspeed in instances before Dawntrail, but does not in the open world and in Dawntrail Instances. Skill Speed was checked in the last dungeon of Endwalker and visually shown to scale in lower levels consistently. (Spoke with several people, theirs are fine???)
    2. DRKs AoEs do not change in their Skillspeed in any form of content that I've tested between the lowest level you get Stalwart Soul and the last dungeon in Endwalker.
    3. DRK is alone in this quirk as ever other Tank's AoEs scale according to their Skill Speed. Quietus and Impalement scale properly as well.
    4. Double Checked over all the classes once more and unless I truly missed something none of them had this issue between Casters or Physical.

    I know I did post this already technically but it was banished to "Insufficient Information" and I would delete it and put this in its place here but frankly I don't know how. This needs to be known though as if MCH keeps this quirk when Raids roll in or this is some magical unlisted change they didn't need to do it'll be a pain to work with.

    Drill and bioblaster stop scaling with SkS when they get their second charges, not sure if it's intended or not. It shouldn't affect MCH in raids too much since ideally you want 0 SkS and a 2.5s GCD on MCH. DRK AoE's have never scaled with SkS since they're spells (scale with SpS). Same with Unmend.

    What? This whole time I've never noticed DRK AoEs never scaled? I'm blind and/or stupid then.

    Even if MCH should ideally have no SkS that technically doesn't stop BiS or random gear when leveling to screw it up, but they'll probably change it to scale properly, it would be weird to just drop that function out of nowhere.
