I was thinking... why DU a higher priority than Backspin? It barely helps in 2nd job; it's almost the same damage as Flash Fist twice, at almost the same speed.
To illustrate my point (I'm assuming LazyBui is correct here, I know some values are off but those are mainly the spammed delays, not the lengths)
2x Flash Fist is 1.02 seconds long.
Double Uppercut is 0.96 seconds long, or 1.06x faster than 2x Flash Fist.
2x Flash Fist deals 540% damage.
Double Uppercut deals 580% damage, or 1.07x stronger than 2x Flash Fist.
6% faster and 7% stronger? Great, but is it really better than being able to chain stronger mobbing combos with Backspin?
I'm not saying you should skip Double Uppercut entirely, of course. Its stun would come in handy in 3rd job. But based on the fact that it's barely stronger than Flash Fist even when spammed, and it isn't spammable in the first place, should it be pushed farther back?
