I'm sorry but no not more of this.. C&S should not be on a shared cooldown with AD and AD should not have a mana cost.. it should be returned to it early StB days of being a GCD for health sustain when mass pulling..Carve and Spit and Abyssal Drain cooldowns reduced to 40 seconds and given a second charge (put 2 into each raid 120s raid window; 1 between), with free ppm kept as before. For instance, have them each cost 3000 MP instead of granting 600 MP; to match C&S's 510 ppm, C&S would then have to deal 800 potency (340 free potency per cast, down 2/3s of 510). Abyssal Drain, which already needed a slight buff regardless, could deal 270p (keeping its current power would place it at 260; this buff simply lets it faintly push ahead at 3 targets) and heal for damage dealt (->270n potency). Additionally, let C&S heal for half its damage dealt (->400 potency).
You realize for it to heal it still consumed over a quarter your MP per cast in Stormblood, a period during AoEs gave no MP (via Blood Weapon or otherwise)?
Was limited to Grit and could only afford around two DA-ADs even in dungeons with pulls as dense as Ala Mhigo's dog pull. And then you'd have 40 seconds before you could again regen any MP if you stuck to Grit.
Blood Weapon -> Quietus was the larger factor.
