    I think I might have been looking at the damage page rather than casts, yes. Would explain some things, I guess. As for combo things, I was looking at each combo ender's percentage of uses, and then adding on the previous steps of the combo (for example on NIN, I'd look at Spin-Gust-Aeolian as one 'action' and then Spin-Gust-ArmorCrush as a second 'action') and see if either hit 30% of total casts. However, as pointed out, I was likely looking at 'damage source' for all of them, meaning a lot less of them which 'failed' would actually be fail-grades, because they have a load of OGCD uses that were not included. Though I figure the 'GCD loop being stale' would mean that excluding OGCDs would be of slight help to paint the picture. For example, a hell of a lot of AST's gameplay is in the 2min window, playing cards, doubleweaving etc. But that doesn't do anything to help the fact that outside the 2min window, it's Malefics and Combust refreshing all the way down. I guess having both charts ('damage sources' and 'total actions used') would help to illustrate the nuances of this kind of thing

    Hmm might go make a pie chart of the SCH DOT design I had, see what kind of Broilspam it'd have, I estimate about 55% which is unfortunate but better than what we have now (75%ish). If we are including 'every action used' in that 30% number, then that makes it super easy to reach. No need to worry about 'Quake/Glare being one button and pushing over 30%' when Assize, POM, Benison/Aquaveil, potentially a 60s Cleric Stance CD, etc are involved

    edit: My SCH idea ended up at 47% Broils over a 4min duration (lowest common denominator on the DOTs), when looking at just target dummy scenario, so Broil, 3 DOTs (30,24,15 duration), Aetherflow CD and spending all 12 charges on Energy Drain. Dissipation was not included
