I use it because i'm personally under the impression that it does but we cant be sure till we have parsers.

    Overall id say my uptime of fracture and tod is pretty high, but definitly not 100% (demolish uptime is closer to 100% then tod and fracture)

    What i do know is with 3 stacks of GL you can add tod and fracture into your rotation and still make it in time to refresh GL without stacks dropping. (I have about 2.04 GCD with 3x stacks of GL)
    2 problems with it, is that you are overrunning your animation sequence with long ones like Tod and demolish. Thus in a real time of 30 seconds, and 2.xs GCD you expect 14-15 skill activations of on GCD skills, but when you add in off GCD, and positioning, you are nowhere near that, if you put it to practical use.

    ex. you can do demolish->boot, you expect 4.1 ish seconds, but... if you add
    demolish-> peak (or any other off gcd) -> boot you will end up with a much longer skill time due to animation then
    snap-> peak(or any other off gcd) -> boot

    And finally people who use training dummies quickly find...not everything is the size of a training dummy. To position yourself with a moving big ass dragon for instance would take you much more time.

    DoTs just don't work that well for mnks once you start pounding your off GCD skills, Positioning is hard enough with a crazy target, now you gotta fight with your own animation timing.

    you just can't skill stack very well with mnk if you start doing dots.

    fracture is a low animation so it's decent, but at the low potency, it's pretty marginal.
