    These moves need to be made OGCD's: Wind rumination, Fire rumination, and Six-sided star
    Making these two skills oGCDs would make them useless as ranged tools.

    while Six-sided star slows the GCD's down when used in niche moments, making the move useless.
    No, it having an extended GCD cost (and near-proportionately increased power) is precisely what makes it useful and worth having as an additional skill (as compared to a bloated filler action or something which is made redundant by our prior GCD options). You fit 2 GCDs of damage into that final moment of available uptime, removing penalty you'd otherwise face from leaving melee range for the extra GCD's time. The penalty for disengaging becomes SSS's ppgcd loss compared to normal rotation for 2 GCDs, rather 2 Meditation's ppgcd loss for the latter GCD (a much larger penalty).
    At most they (mostly just Six-sided Star) should be turned into roll-overs (something which does not require the GCD to be fully cooled, but adds a GCD's interval additional time until the GCD refreshes, therefore having the same uptime cost as a GCD but also greater timing flexibility). But, of course, we don't have those in XIV anyways. So, barring that...
    All three should stay GCDs.
