Final Fantasy 14 Basics Guide: Global Cooldowns and Weaving

In this video, I will guide you through the basic concepts of Global Cooldowns (Weaponskills and Spells), off-Global Cooldowns (Abilities), and the idea of weaving, including the arising details of these concepts, including slide-casting. Most of these concepts are approached both with visual examples, short and precise commentary, and when deemed necessary, accompanying text to help your understanding.
If you have any questions or considerations, please leave a comment and I will get back to you.

Glossary:
GCD = Global Cooldown = Weaponskills and Spells
oGCD = off-Global Cooldown = Abilities
Base GCD = 2.5 seconds
Animation lock = 0.5 seconds + your latency
Slidecasting = When animation lock begins during spellcast, you can move before the spell finishes
Singleweaving = Using a GCD, then an oGCD, then a GCD
Doubleweaving = Using a GCD, then two oGCDs, then a GCD
Tripleweaving = Not recommended, but using a GCD, then three oGCDs, then a GCD
