Isn't there like, only one GCD free in the SMN rotation per minute right now? One single filler ruin3, everything else is fully occupied by the gem stuff and Baha/Phoenix phases. And a random Ruin 4 once a minute. So it looks to me like the only options they have is to MCH it: a bunch of potency upgrade traits/VFX changes that don't change the rotation (summoning the missing 3 primals after Phoenix, for example), and then one final GCD that fills that last Ruin 3 spot

The rework's only been out for one expansion and already they're painted into a corner on 'how much room is there to add new things'
