Just to go back to this...

My CT rarely, if ever, falls off, and I use the rotation in the OP (2 Thrust combos to one CT combo, plus alternating HT and PH). It takes me making a mistake or certain fight mechanics for that to happen. Normally I reapply at, I think, 2-5 seconds remaining (0-2 tics depending on the server clock), due to my high skill speed and whether Selene is there or not (and mechanics); probably more like 2-3 seconds at reapply on average. I pretty sure when I used the T5 BiS it was normally reapplied at 1-2 seconds remaining, or even just as it fell off (which is actually the ideal).

I don't know what you're doing to have CT fall off consistently enough to assume others are doing so.


Pretty much my post said the opposite of what you thought. More SS = more actions during the CT duration. At an SS to allow 2.5 Thrust combos in the CT duration, its likely better to clip CT by that 1/2 combo time, rather than try to get a third Thrust combo in and let CT fall off or stop the Thrust combo to reapply CT at the correct time. Also, at high SS, you use filler moves, like Fracture, to keep CT up as long as possible, since you'd gain 1 extra GDC over CT's duration (at the highest SS that we can currently achieve anyway)
