If you are not sure what a “GCD” is, I have a short on this subject too:

Did you know that auto attacks can actually do a meaningful amount of damage for some of the mage jobs?
Do you or anyone you know go out of your way to sneak in those auto attacks, even if they deal hardly any damage?!
Bonus Info: The auto attack swingtimer is defined by the attack delay on your weapon, and casting anything delays your auto attack by the cast time minus 0.5. This means, for example, that casting Broil with a 1.5 second cast time, delays your next auto attack by 1 second.
bonus detail: with controller you dont need to do the right click, only focus the enemy with your for interact button (maybe A or X depend of the controller) 2 times and stay near to theme like cae show and you begin to auto attack
I do because in HW the auto on SMN was a lot more significant dps increase, and because Blizz2 from thaumaturge was a dps increase on mobs, and i never broke the habit of being in melee range lol. Mostly i play tank now
'…so the value is quite small. Just don't forget about…'. Now it must need be known what is not to be forgotten about, don't leave me till next weeks episode please, the cliffhanger is too much. Jokes aside, informative as ever ^^
