[Feedback][GNB] Blasting Zone should have same CD than Gnashing Fang

[Fluffernuff]

I'm sorry but there was a skill that worked like the OP is suggesting, it was bard's empyreal arrow before they made it an ability this expansion which imo sucks since now it drifts. But before it was classified as a weaponskill, which did benefit from sks, that didn't share a cd with anything and was used as an ogcd.

Now I'll admit to not being up to date on bard since 5.0, so I cant speak on if its an ability ot weaponskill right now,

but if we're talking in the PAST, then empyreal arrow was a weaponskill- in fact, it was basically the basis for how Gnashing fang works now(among the slew of other CD based GCDs across the jobs). It used to be unique to bard- allowing them an action that would work with barrage without competing with their other weaponskills.

It was not an Ability that was affected by Skill Speed, so no. Its not what OP is or was asking for. or what you quoted me speculating. I was specifically saying a singular Ability that was affected in this way. Empyreal comes close, but it was a Weaponskill, not an Ability. I could have been clearer.

....nor does it change the fact that Blasting zone is already fulfilling the role they want it to, so there's nothing to even change


slight sleep deprived brain edit:
I can see this all coming to agreement if we were to say make blasting a weaponskill that ISNT tied to GCD like old empyreal, and if thats what you're saying, then you would be correct. However, at that point, it is an incredibly arbitrary and useless classification at best, because it literally changes nothing-

if anything it's a nerf, because it would start to desync like gnashing does (because it would be slightly less than 30s), but be unable to be re-aligned with burst strike(because it wouldnt share a CD with other skills), and hilariously would mean it would STOP aligning with burst strike entirely. yknow. the thing OP wants it to do better. the only way to NOT desync is to hold for when they align- completely nullfying and ignoring it's benefit from SkS in the first place.

I really am completely baffled by what this really addresses or changes.
