omaigod thank you so much for explaining both GCD n OGCD, im fairly a week old trial player just started n i tried finding easier explanation videos bout it, cant believe i found this one new in my timeline
this was a good video, wish it had been around when i started new! one thing that would have been really nice though is showing that really good gcd animation lock diagram to include a version for 1.5s spells. It's easy to forget how it feels to be a new player, but a lot of magic class players don't realize what the cast bar means in relation to the gcd (especially black mage players), so having it pictured out could be very helpful. it's a common mistake for BLMs to think the cast bar IS the gcd for example!
Another unintuitive thing to point out with cast time gcds is that the gcd starts rolling the moment you start casting, before the spell has gone out. i.e. the gcd starts rolling the same time as an instant gcd like weaponskills, and that if you interrupt the cast time, the global cooldown resets, and it basically turns that section of casting into something equivalent to downtime
Great tips man, I recently got into this game and glad I stumbled across this video!
Thanks a ton! Installed yesterday and this video did a great job explaining some of the stuff I was foggy on
Well that's a strange coincidence. Pretty sure you're the same Boosh Almighty I bumped into a few times in LPDU DSR a month or so ago!
