Ways to make Piercing Talon useful

[Ryaz]

Samurai at least has up to a couple GCDs of flexiblity by which to potentially time Yaten-Enpi to between combos, albeit at high demand to planning. DRG has no such capability. Without avoiding combo breaks, even if EJ-PT were to individually exceed DRG's level 80 standard ppgcd, it might still not be worth using in any single GCD of downtime due to future sync issues, yet the bonus from EJ would also only last that single GCD.

It will likely need a less singularly sourced solution.

True, though I think most Samurai use a Yukikaze combo instead, especially now that Hagakure has been buffed. I use Yaten more to avoid point blank AoEs than anything else, though it sucks that Enpi breaks combos. I think all melee ranged attacks should be off the standard GCD, like MCH Drill, so it doesn't interrupt combos.
