The charge time for it isn't an issue though, which is what I'm trying to say. It's only about a couple of seconds.
Getting speed only for particular situations is a waste in my opinion. I'd rather go with something that's best for the vast majority of the time. I'm personally never a sitting duck while casting Halfmoon because I know how to chain into it. It's not a skill you just use while everything is right up on you. It's used when the enemy's guard is down, usually after Frenzied Charge. Charge drops the guard of most things, and even if it doesn't it still leaves you a large distance from the enemy which you can use to safely cast Halfmoon.
I've played every dungeon in the game up to Lv50 cap and I can honestly say there aren't any situations where you would honestly need a speed plate for Halfmoon. That one plate doesn't make up for every other one of your skills being at normal speed. You use it fast, then need to wait 45seconds to use it quickly again. It's just not worth the speed plate with that kind of cooldown because it won't change anything else.
