1)Dia 2/3 is only useable by mages or /mage, not a DD job subbing WAR. A job that can do dia 2/3 probably isn't going to put out same lv of output as a DNC/WAR.

2) Same thing applies to GEO.

3) Angon has a cool down, you can't apply angon on every target most of the time.

Even with JA delay DNC dmg+ step is still a net gain in dmg.

I don't agree with JA delay removal because the battle system already designed based on the fact that JA has a delay, if there are no delay then the battle system needs rework......or else inc MNK boost spam.
I wouldnt advocate removing it either, but they can reduce it for certain JAs, or even make it a JT for DNCs that reduces the delay associated with steps (.5s?)
