Okay so in Shadowbringers, they added a new system which allows some skills to be on the GCD recast timer, but have a seperate cooldown based off your skillspeed/spellspeed.

The ones that come to mind are Sonic break, Shadowfang (As of 5.1), That double medare button i cant be bothered to look up the spelling for on SAM, The starting button for the Gnashing Fang combo...And probably some others.

It got me thinking....

GCD = Global Cool down

oGCD = Off Global Cool down


So....What are these? They require your GCD to be available, but at the same time dont adhere to GCD recast times...But is still affected by Skillspeed, unlike conventional oGCD's.

SoGCD? Segregated/Seperated off Global Cool down?
SSGCD? Skillspeed GCD?
GCDoGCD? GCD off GCD?

Anyone got any ideas? It'd need to be something short, if nothing else.
