Combo Action Button

I can't believe that people regularly switch Grit on and off in line with the cooldowns of Blood Weapon and Blood Price, given that Grit costs MP and a GCD.
Giving these a shared cooldown wouldn't negatively impact the job much at all besides when you transition right as the effect of one of these finishes. You might try to time it like that to take advantage of the effect, but it'd be incredibly minor.

That or they should do away with these skills entirely and have them integral effects of Darkside/Grit that are constant but only 1/3 as effective.

not sure if relevant, but Grit's GCD only applies when turning it ON, not necessarily turning it off. Turning Grit off is actually instant (as long as your GCD isnt ticking) and you can go back into your GCD combo nearly instantly.

The fact that the GCD has to complete before it can be turned off means that you can't just use Syphon Strike as your final WS in Grit, immediately drop Grit again, and then DA-CnS or the like, though. It really ought to be shifted to an Ability (a true oGCD) or ideally an aura-cancel (same as clicking off a buff) rather than a no-recast-trigger Spell after activation, allowing you to turn it off whenever (even mid-animation in the aura-cancel's case). Very little throughput value, but a damn nice QoL change.

I would personally LOVE this QoL change, it always baffled me why it isnt this way by default. I've just had to get used to the way it works now to best of my ability.
