that's already an issue in raids when no mercy comes up. To wit I remember hating E2S because either 2nd or 3rd No Mercy would happen when the boss'd have to me moved to an edge of the arena. It's a known thing for GNB to have a lot to weave, being an oGCD heavy tank. It's part of a skill level with the job IMO, i.e. how good are you at knowing when to use what mitigation when you're in no mercy, and will you have to sacrifice something to not cause issues for the raid.

Sure having one more use of Continuation is going to be tough, but I dont think it's going to be that bad, it'd just require a rethinking of burst strike as just a filler button now, especially with a 3rd cartridge and the Burst Strike->Continuation combo.
