    This is a good thing...

    Did you ever try playing GNB in ultimate? If you hit a phase transition at a bad time and are forced to enter NM with 2 carts, you have to choose between delaying NM and losing a huge amount of damage by being out of sync with raid buffs, or delaying gnashing fang or double down and having your rotation be irrecoverably broken for the rest of the fight.

    GNB's cart economy was broken and it's much better now. The job felt absolutely awful in any content that didn't allow for 100% uptime.

    Yeah, this.
    You don't even need to quote ultimate, I think P8S P2 was also weird if you played with your cartridges without thinking.
    You had to hold your burst strikes to ensure having 3 cartridges at your next 60s without having to use the AoE combo, which is a massive DPS loss.

    Depending on boss movement of the next savage, we might see different use of Bloodfest than the 100% uptime rotation.

    Ah, I played PLD for Abyssos and GNB for Anabaseios so IDK how GNB did in P8.

    Lionheart does offer a great deal of flexibility though, which is good. You'll either be able to use the extra carts to recover from downtime prior to an even minute burst, use it to generate additional carts if you won't have enough carts for your next odd minute burst, or just dump carts on burst strike for damage in full uptime.

    Fantastic and much needed change for the job.
