At base 2.2222r GDC, 19.9998, you need absolutely no downtime. You'll need to live and play right next to the Server Trays in Montreal. At 494SS*1.3 , that's 2.210448 GDC, or 19.894032. That's now 0.11s for downtime, including jumps and animation locking. That's still too limited. For bursting, I wouldn't use fracture even with Fey Light what so ever, without much higher SS.

I can't remember the exact number, but it was around 383 we ended up at with i90 BiS, and were absolutely comfortable to do our rotation with jumps weaved, accounting for latency, moving around and maybe avoiding something. That was 2.457 GDC. So, if we follow a similar rule, we'll need approximately a GDC of 2.1792222, or 675 SS/1.3 = 519.23 SS + Fey Light to comfortably burst with Fracture.

Of course, this is all hypothetical, and I'm not suggesting we start changing our rotations because majority of this is pointless in Patch 2.2, but It's still interesting to see how SS can really help and cripple rotations. But the information is now there, so if someone feels crazy enough, and is pumping a lot of Skill Speed at the moment, well you can have free potency with very slight downside!
