Are you ready for cooldown resets to get removed the day after they're added?

I don't raid or do difficult content enough to really care what happens to this one way or the other.

There is literally no way I can see this being exploited, the only way possible is if the system is dumb and resets something arbitrary like cordials.

Even in such a case, dying drops your GP to zero, so the amount of use that would have is questionable... unless triggering a wipe/reset in a way that doesn't actually involve you dying still works (such as the whole party falling out of bounds in the Ultros/Typhon fight)

Just a guess.

I think I know one single fight were you might be able to do that (A6S) without needing at least 10s to reach the boss (like in A5S, A7S) due to slides: But your healer has 0 MP now and misses out 5-8 GCDs. Great min-maxing. ;)
5-10s extra buff on the dps won't up the dps by 1000+ for the first 15s, which is what the healer would have done (he can't be needed for healing, 'cause we were talking about him killing himself).
For the rest of the fight assume his dps half of his usual dps (since he has only 30% of his MP on the start).

Maybe she has some obnoxious series of tank busters that are easier to get through with Hallowed Ground, and the PLD feels that the group will wipe because he used Hallowed early.

When you are running a hallowed/living/holmgang strat in a fight with tight mechanics, its already these days a wipe, when you used it at the wrong place. This is one of the reasons this feature got requested. Not the most important reasons, but one of them.

Well, if the buffs themselves reset (ie, turn off) at the moment of the boss's reset, it would prevent this scenario.

"Boss reset" is not the same thing as "party wiping"
