7.0 DNC Ideacraft

I disagree. Original suggestions mostly serve to shift balance even more towards the 2 minute raid buff window, and make dancer depend even more heavily on being in a full team to improve its personal dps (due to existing technical step > sabre dance mechanics). Dancer does not need either. During that 2 minute window (or even during the smaller in-between buff), DNC is mechanically fine. The mechanical improvements should go towards the parts of gameplay that is not affected by the long cooldowns abilities. So for when you're just spamming 1,2,1,2, waiting and hoping something procs, that part needs improvements.

The only changes I listed that work toward your burst are the Improvisation rework concept, which is more about fixing a resource generation issue rather than adding to the burst, and Tilana II. But a lot of what I listed is also about improving the solo experience, improving the synched experience, and adding stronger utility. Having a Tilana after every Standard Step as well would also add to the time between each burst. And I think there's certainly room to weave in other ways of generating Fan Dance IV or Starfall Dance perhaps. I'm just not really sure how I'd approach that at this time, because a lot of what I can think of would often serve the burst more than the downtime anyway.
