Will GNB ever get our own umbral soul ability

It's very very awful to try and fit all your damage skills into the window, especially when you take ping into account.
WAR and DRK at least feel much better because there is no stress about fitting everything into a buff window, just unga bunga blow your load and feel cool while doing it.
Leave the buff window stress to DPS jobs imo

No Mercy is flexible enough to fit everything with 2 extra seconds, if you can't because of some reason that's okay fitting 7 GCDs.
You can also fix the "ping" issue by making No Mercy 30s but expire after 8 GCDs, similar to Delirium or Hypercharge.

The "DPS stress" works fine in GNB, it's the same as positional except it's exclusive to GNB. That's a job meant to catter to DPS who wants to play a tank.

Those are the concerns I have with GNB:
-Forced downtime reduces cartridges generation.
-Bow Shock/Blasting Zone are still the biggest victims or drifting
-Damage variance during burst
-Bloodfest remains inflexible if you want to use it earlier you have to use it earlier in your complete rotation.

Except damage variance, the rest is pretty much between our hands so these are just that, concern.

As a main of both jobs, hell no
The fun of these 2 jobs is fitting everything into that window for me

You can just play war/drk if its an issue for you after all

What you find masochism, i find fun.
DRK is masochism if anything. that job feels garbage to play, and no i don't mean its self sustain.

It's good to struggle on a puzzle or to feel you need to do a combo on a tight window.
Plus, even if you removed No Mercy you'd still need to shove the combo within raidbuffs, you'd change nothing.
WAR and DRK also needs to play with party buffs.

And... Please, they already took the Wildfire combo from MCH I absolutely loved, struggled with but loved, I've swapped to a job that had this combo.
Could we not take that as well?

I dunno I think the main problem I have with these window things is ping making it very easy to clip and screw up the whole thing
I think having charges like WAR inner release and DRK's delirium would be a nice "meet halfway" as those changes were made specifically in reference to potential issues with clipping.
