It's a question of is that one move going to be worth the potency loss of missing stacks of GL later?

I think this will become an issue where monks have to be smart about when and how cool downs are used rather than just spamming them as they come up.

The thing is, unless they're stopwatching absolute-time phase transitions, none of the relevant information is likely to be there by which to weigh one's choices when either the cooldown readiness or the event requiring it (which will almost certainly be merely conditional, as RoW can only grant up to 2 GCDs longer a duration) occurs.

You can now get a GCD more GL if the jump occurs at Opo-opo, 2 more if at Raptor, or one more non-Coeurl skills during PB. ...That's it.

While RoE is still rendered useless by a full shield or any jump transition without damage within the 10 to 16 second initial window AND within the >16 seconds latter window...
