Well i've said it before and I'll say it again, Improvisation is bad and the Healer in my party agreed. While everything was on cooldown, they would rather use Rescue than see me get a stack or two of heals and shields.

I feel Improv is pretty good when you want an extra regen, but the only times you should really have it active for the shields are phase transitions where you can't do anything or have anything to do until it's done...like EW trial 2 EX's jump after adds phase (the boss is gone for like 12-15s). Outside of that you'd really just weave it like any other oGCD if you really need the regen.
One thing that just popped to mind, I wish we had our own Performance mode like Bards, but instead of music, we chain together some dance moves unique to the class.
Maybe a combo system like beatemups where button combos pull off different dance performances.
With the number of Nightclubs in the game now, i feel it would fit very well.
A tip if you want.
You can use the macro /micon "Standard Step" to create unclickable icons that will still show the cooldowns and all that and set them like I have in the screenshot I'll attach ( yes, I am ridiculously poor lol ).
I also have my personal buffs and dots in easier to follow spots, I have basically centered the most important things to pay attention to in the middle of the screen.
Even with your 1234 combo you could put up 3 and 4 for example to see if one of them procced.

Tbh I feel like NIN has a lack of glams that looks like they actually were made for NIN.
I'd like to see some more gear that is designed a bit more specifically for Jobs.
I mean you could still use it on others too and make it work, but like with the Radiant gear for example why does my NIN look like a spellcaster in it lol?
