    [SUGGESTION] Automatic chaining of Battle Litany

    So I used to main DRG in HW, and no matter how many times you tried to tell pugs, it seems people don't understand that Battle Litany does not stack. Much like AST cards, a second Litany will overwrite the first. I would ask pugs time and time again "Do you want first or second" and I try to work around them, and they stack on me anyway. Some of them are too set in their rotation to adapt.

    So how about this. Maybe Battle Litany can work like eating food. Additional Litanys casted in the same party can simply extend the duration to what it would be if the DRGs staggered their usage instead of blowing them all at once. Then you don't have this problem anymore and groups can get their max dps output.

    What do you guys think? Is this a good idea?

    I like the idea, but I'd be lying to myself if I expected them to actually implement it.

    It would also be nice to see Battle Voice and Devotion work this way as well. As a Bard, I often see Battle Voice get doubled-up at the start of fights. I would say Embolden too, but since it decays, that would be difficult without changing the way the ability works.

    It should be the players' responsibilities to stagger non-stacking buffs themselves. If the party doesn't want to do this, then they can deal with having just the one application.

    Since you know they don't stack, you can hold yours and wait for theirs to finish. Simple as that?

    It would be if I was still a DRG main. I play SAM now but I get parties of non chaining DRGs far too often. Trying to coach them, no matter how polite, has middling results

    Firstly, it's not intended to bring 2 players of the same job. With this in mind, I think they will keep this as it is.
