up for dev commentary

bump hoping for some kind of comment ab whether gems can even b fixed to behave classically (all refresh w clicky- spells w long recast (harvest etc) dont instantly pop up if not rdy to b cast when GCD clicky used)

haven't read through all the arcane details of this long and technical thread, but in case it hasn't been stated or anyone is unclear:

the current difference between gem #1 and the others is that for gem #1 the recast time is checked at the end of the cast, whereas for the other gems, the recast time is checked at the beginning.

This is why gem #1 is the only one that produces the "recast time not met" message, because for the other gems the casting is preempted completely.

If this is known and clear to everyone, then just ignore and accept this free bump.
