    Is there something I'm not understanding about stronger abilities doing less damage? There's nothing in the base combo (aside from Demolish) that does anywhere near Fracture's damage. I don't understand this obsession about blowing through the combo super quick to override the buffs/debuff early when there's plenty of time for one more GCD every 18 seconds.
    Don't you risk losing greased lighting by using an out of combo move like fracture?

    I honestly find ToD a lot harder to use than fracture, since the animation for ToD is very long, and fracture is close to instant.

    At GL3, you got enough time to squeeze it in (unless you got low skill speed), I personally use Dragon kick>Twin snakes>ToD>Fracture>Demolish quite often.

    You have time for 2-3 extra abilities before the strict rotation required to keep up GL stacks.

    I don't know about that, with decent gear at 50 I don't reach the animation block with this ability, or if it is there it is very slight.
