Fair enough. I haven't been BRDing long enough for it to feel quite that rote yet. BRD's got just two measly procs, and right now, that makes it feel refreshingly different. But assuming I eventually get there, it sort of furthers the point; there's very, very little variation in rotation. Not a huge thing on its own, but it compounds with all the other little areas of predictability and sameness.
