I could do this until my TP runs out.

Animation length does not affect the execution of attacks. Demolish and ToD prevent us from using off-GCD abilities for the same amount of time as Bootshine, Snap Punch, or anything else on GCD. Besides, no animation is long enough to tread on 2s GCD--that's full DL MNK--in the first place. Even if animations could prevent the execution of other GCD skills, no one can get the GCD short enough to test it yet.


No mnk who has ever tried to stun an aoe would believe a word of that. Go try it on a fate boss or something.

Trying to stun an AoE at the end of a boot-twin-snap, easy
Trying to stun an AoE at the end of a tod/demolish, harrrrrrddd. Like squished for 1324 damage hard.

The engine seems to relay damage information after the animation, and then relays back to goto next skill, so you're there spamming your off gcd skills with no sucess in a decent combat lag situation.
