I live in Connecticut. If I try to pop two OCD abilities between each GC I lose about a half a second. I could give two shits but some people are really upset and it's amazing. I guess if you were going for world firsts? Like who cares about world firsts in FF?

With NiN you can hit the two mudra combo between GCD's. Or I used to be able to. I can't remember if they have many other abilities off cooldown.

Nah, even with my tiny ping now, trying to do Raiton in between GCDs still clips them. I only have 613 Skill Speed, too.

Wouldn't more skillspeed clip more, cause the gains on the low cd mudras would be lower than the gains on long basic GCDs especially with lag being applied twice?

Anyway the double GCD stuff might be semi fixed with some of the changes they do to combat, need to see what's up. Ping is really a large issues on bard/mch opener as far as I remember, cause they have like 12 oGCD to cram right at the start of the fight. You lose a bit of performance here and there with ping but as someone from EU who played on US servers it wasn't too much of a problem.

Is 613 high Skill Speed? I was making a point that my skill speed is pretty low.

It drops .1 seconds off your GCD. Shrug.

Anyone have the full soundtracks? I don't want to drop a hundred bucks on them but I like the music.

Yeah I mean you said you'd need more but more probably wouldn't help doing 2mudras ninjutsus without clipping cause it'd reduced the GCD of normal skills also making it worse.

Torrents and stuff, if you search for FFXIV you should find them they're not super rare. I don't know if there's a perfect full soundtrack instead of just the albums they released which iirc are missing some of the tracks, maybe someone compiled all of them extracted from the game directly. Don't know where though. And yeah music is stupidly good in this game, one of the big things I'm looking forward to, the new expansion is sure to have some really good stuff.

Didn't say I needed more, I was saying that I wasn't able to double weave even though my skill speed was low.

Oh I see, misinterpreted.

Stupid reddit timer for the stream rounds stuff down or whatever, thought stream was now but it's in an hour :(

Changing healer damage to be mind based is really nice for QoL, cleric stance swapping wasn't hard but it was annoying especially if you have to switch in and out constantly.

I'm liking the new UI elements for class mechanics instead of having to look at buff icons.

Increased ground mount speed looks pretty crazy. Moving around ARR will be a lot better.
