Another benefit of decoupling Baneful Impaction from Chain is the event should you are paired with dupe SCHs in 8-24 man contents. We went from "I forgot to press chain the entire fight" to "oops let's just overwrite one another heheh". I honestly know not which one is better, but what I know for sure is neither of them feels great.

Their obsession to consider 8-man savage/ultimate and nothing else is really tiresome to watch. There are also players outside those content, yanno SE?

This is very much something I dislike with the recent decision to add a bunch of follow-up oGCDs to the raid buffs.

I was playing RDM several weeks back in Jeuno and got a party nearly full of RDM. We somehow managed to co-ordinate (most of the time) with staggering Embolden, but that does come with the cost of delaying the follow-up attack, losing a use of it in any given fight. Thinking about duplicate jobs in alliance that rely on debuffs like SCH makes that idea far worse, because now you're effectively throwing away an alliance buff to try and stay in line with your parties buffs. Before it didn't matter, you just co-ordinate and try to get your buffs to not overlap, now it comes with a loss that just feels bad if you can actually co-ordinate your raid buffs.

Also they're just filler for fillers sake, they don't add anything meaningful to the rotation besides "big number every 2 minutes".

You'd think if their grand idea of DT job design means "lots and lots of follow up oGCDs", they could've at least pick the ones that make sense. But then we got things like:

• Temperance => Divine Caress. Why? Why not things like Plenary Indulgence?
• PoM => Glare IV. Why? Why not Assize?
• Chain Stratagem => Baneful Impaction. Why? Why not Aetherflow?
• Divination => Oracle. Why? And on personal note, is Oracle really thematic for AST?
• Many more, IIRC SMN's Searing Light => Searing Flash, too?

Can't think much else at the moment, but again, shows how uneven the amount of thought they've given to the jobs in general.

I think it's possible that their thought process is:

People use big hits under buff alignment > Big hits belong under buffs > Why not put a big hit as a follow-up to buffs?

If that’s the case, then the overwrite-able (de)buffs should be the last one they’d consider. This is how I came to a conclusion that they never consider anything that’s not 8-man savage/ult when they make these sort of decisions.

Aside from questionable pick, my other problem with these new follow-ups is the fact they are pressed so little amount of times or condensed to one specific type of period in a fight.

And let's nkt forget that in the 7.0 patch note explanation, they added " to increase attack variation, we added the lvl 92 big hits." That itself is an issue with it since especially glare 4 is the only one thatsan gcd while the others are ogcds and psyche only has a 1 minute cd.
