They're synching up Raid buffs so they'll do their usual Arcane Circle > Plentiful > Lemurs Shroud opener, then hold Shroud Gauge only. They will constantly spend Avatar Gauge as normal (literally have to so they can generate Shroud Gauge)

This allows them to have a much extended burst phase

21 seconds of burst as it takes 7 seconds to go through Void>Cross>Slice Void> Cross > Slice> Communio then a short respite between where they reapply death mark or spend Avatar Gauge/Plentiful Harvest then back in

A 3-5 seconds cooldown increase would remedy their ability to have that hugely extended burst phase which literally no other job can do.
