GNB future expansion skill(s)

[DRKoftheAzure]

I always get boggled by "how could this job possibly get better" question with each expansion. Specifically this time because we finally got some pretty nice quality of life skills like PLD's gap closer and combo aoe's to make trash pulls more bearable. for this thread, a friend an I had an idea how GNB would evolve for the next expansion without adding much clutter. We then came up with an idea considering how often we run into the trouble of having 2 cartridges and having to spend an extra burst strike to not overlap cartridge gains in our combo.


"Aura" - Active - Cooldown: 1 and a half minutes - Spend 2 of your cartridges to enter "Heart of Lion" for 8 seconds. Heart of lion turns Keen Edge, Brutal Shell, and Solid Barrel, into Lion's Edge, Lion's Shell, and Lion's Barrel respectively. Ability also allows the use of Continuation for Lion's Fang, Lion's Claw, and Lion's Talon after the use of Lion's Edge, Lion'sShell, and Lion's Barrel respectively.

Instead of 2 cartridges, just make it one so you can still use Gnashing Fang Combo, because of No Mercy window. And I would make the Cooldown at least 30-60 seconds, because of Gnashing Fang combo.

That'd be too broken though with such potency increases. Plus the idea would be you'd still be able to fit your gnashing fang combo in as you normally do, you'd just start with your upgraded aura'd keen edge combo first to get the cartridge then right into your cartridge spender(s). Would setup the rotation in a straight line and mainly solves the "I'm maxed out cartridges" issue of having to dump em into burst strikes.

Well it would be a matter of adjusting recast timers if anything else.
