We should have a "Lance mage", "Ninja Sword mage", "Fist mage"

Did you see BLMs crying about double Firestarter procs? Just use it 1 GCD later.

Doesn't work that way as Straighter Shot proc doesn't stack. Say that you get the Straighter Shot buff on the skill. Well if you use Heavy Shot while that buff is active, the game will still let you proc Straighter Shot, even while you have one ready. So that other proc you got while that buff was sitting there just disappears.

And as it goes under Minuet, if heavy Shot were to proc Straighter Shot, it wouldn't be until well after your GDC is done, which means unless you sit there and watch Straight Shot to see if it lights up, you could very well use Heavy Shot again only to then see Straighter Shot proc and of course, have the potential to proc another one which just dumps into the void.

And even better: If you were to cast Heavy Shot and then Straight Shot to refresh your buff, if you actually do happen to get a Straighter Shot proc it can show up mid cast of your Straight Shot and not apply, meaning you have to pop Straight Shot again to use the proc.

Just don't mash, you really do hav e plenty of time to react to it if you're not m,ashing the button.

I've watched it and it can proc well into half the cast of another ability. I dunno about you, but soon as GDC comes off I'm going to be using something, and if all my OGDCs and Empy Arrow is off I'm going to use our trademark shot. Sure, either I can just cancel the cast or just sit there for half a second, but should I really need to stop my shit just because they couldn't be bothered to adjust the proc timing?

So what you're telling me is... it works exactly the same as Firestarter procs.
