    I absolutely disagree. The whole point of Blitz is to optimize filler space with LF (or, conversely, maximize Demo/Twin durations), which means you'll want to build it around your regular rotation. You don't want to have to sacrifice PB to put up an empowered Demolish or milk a Leaden Fist you'd already have been in form for.

    Brotherhood, in turn, has its own reasons to be separate -- namely, anti-synergy with Opo-Opo forms. Since OO forms would proc Chakra regardless, for shorter fights you'd want to sync Brotherhood away from OO and your Lunar LF fills (or rather, you'd want to use your Solar Blitzes in such a way as to reduce OO form count under Brotherhood).

    PB itself is incredibly appropriate and nuanced in its length at 3 GCDs (at least, following the addition of Blitz) in the context of a 15s Twin and 18s Demolish. There's so much more to optimize now, rotationally -- even more than back when ToD and Fracture were a thing.

    PB just needs to give Formless Fist upon consuming its last stack, instead of only after using the Blitz, and likely to be reduced to a 27-35s CD.
