View source for ATB

Rounds go as fast or slow as players in combat take their turns, they are not linked to real time.  A round consists of 10 ticks.  

#Each tick combatants gain 100ATB (modified by haste), bar is yellow at this point.
#If a player is at 1000ATB they take their turn.
#After an action is selected, charge time is set based on skill and the bar becomes pink.
#Each subsequent tick combatants receive -100ATB to the charge.
#At 0 Charge the effect fires.  
#ATB becomes 0, If the charge was negative (such as headbutt upgraded to negative charge cost) then that becomes a bonus to initial ATB. 


Note: each skill has a separate cooldown time when fired.  Every skill decreases 100ATB (modified by recharge modifiers) per tick.  When it is at 0 it may be fired again.
