The cooldown reset on A8s is unbearable

That type of reset doesn't really make sense, though, Pell. I think most assume a CD reset to be the second you Release, or in fights like A8S and EX Primals, when the entire party wipes.

I can't think of a possible way to exploit that, since sacrificing a player to reset the boss will only reset their CD's, not the 7 others (would still need to wait for MP and TP, though).

This makes a good point. Resetting cooldowns at "release to start" (i.e. not being raised), and activating said measure only in Raid and Trial duties would be good. Of course, to me it'd be fine to have it in Dungeons as well. PvP... Probably not. Don't really play it myself, but I can imagine it could lead to balance issues. But since they're clearly capable of having a different skillset (and LB system) in PvP, I'm pretty sure they'd be able to have a different "release to start" mechanic in there as well.
