    That will then be entirely dependent on kill time, as it used to be.
    In almost all cases it is a damage loss to delay cooldowns so they fit into a bigger buff window if that means you lose out on a usage over the entire fight.

    Best example being Warrior between 4.2 and 6.0. Most party buffs did not align with it's 90 second cooldown IR but if delaying it meant you would lose out on a use towards the end of the fight it would pretty much always be the worse choice.

    Obviously 115 and 120 seconds are so close to each other that you'd most likely always want to align them, but even the difference between 105 and 120 seconds is long enough that you could end up losing damage overall if you delayed your cooldowns.
