I also made this post about it recently (point 5):



I hit Point 1 in my post in this thread, and Point 4 is old-hat at this point.

Point 2 and 3 are somewhat novel for this thread. I personally enjoy the idea of making our Samba merits give Haste to Drain/Aspir Sambas. As it is, I use Haste Samba 99% of the time, Drain Samba 1% of the time (when I'm going afk), and Aspir Samba never. If they made these changes, I'd use Drain Samba 99% of the time, Aspir Samba 1% of the time, and Haste Samba never.
Something just crossed my mind. They should add an ability on a 3 min recast timer that works on steps and gives them the max debuff on the first use of the step, but it wouldnt give any finishing moves back.

Basicly if you use this Ability and then use any step, that step hits autmaticly potency 5. Usefull for situations where you want to quickly add a strong debuff instantly on one mob (zergs or so), instead of trying to get it up for 1 min and 15sec. The ability would also grant 100% step accuracy for that one step.
