That's fair. GNB's the best example out of the tanks in which you really need to balance your opener around fight mechanics so you don't miss out on Gnashing combos. As for the BZ drift, you make a good point. Using it after keen will have a snowball effect since it pretty much keeps that alignment. Thanks for pointing that out.
