@"If a well designed job like PCT has to be neutered simply to deal with restrictive combat design then it’s time for combat design to change" (on mobile, so can't quote normally)

The only way for fight design to "change" to make a large downtime advantage less significant is to homogenize the fights to have no downtime, or to stun or pacify and silence players in the meantime, which would then screw over other operations like healing, Form Shift (previously Anatman), preparatory Dances and Mudras, etc.
