Yeah.... My rotations were not near perfect prior to 3.0, and I dread what my hot bar will be like once I finally get Dragoon to cap again. But at least it's given me some idea of where to begin. I agree that no rotation is perfect because every situation is different (skill too). Having some idea of where to start, dummy practice and then learning through experience on when to stop and change rotation patterns. Is a bit more important than just trying to maintain a single perfect rotation set. Knowing how to properly optimize rotations and CD on the fly is probably the only real hard thing to learn/do. Even though that can apply to almost any job.

As for GK's, I'm going use that as a baseline to redo my hot bar and get used to managing all that new stuff when I finally get back to the level cap. I'll just have to keep an eye out for other ways of using it aside from trial and error during content.

BTW, you wouldn't happen to know if Battle Litany is shared with Internal release by chance?
