    Besides that, nobody even uses the 2.35, or 2.36 Sets because they work better on paper then they seem to work in practice due to the down times in fights for transitions that cannot be properly calculated on paper.
    Theoretically Speaking the 2.36 and 2.35 rotation deals more damage then the 2.5 Set, but in Practice the 2.34 set deals more damage then the 2.35 and 2.36 sets, but deals less then the 2.5 set depending if you have a Scholar or not.

    Currently nobody in the top 10 spot runs the 2.36 or 2.35 sets due to this issue, it's better on paper but its not better in Practice, On Paper the Best Dragoon set is the 2.38 Set.

    The Point of slowing down dragoon GCD is to allow there to be an increase in damage in OGCD abilities, of course slowing it down will give them a damage boost, look at Monk for Example with fist of fire before it was changed, It used to slow down their GCD, an ability that slow downs DRGs GCD while increasing Damage Output is the perfect ability for the class and remedies the issues with Clipping GCDs this isn't an Issue of "L2P DRG" , It's an Solution to DRGs Constant Issue with Clipping Abilities ... This is beyond that it's about realigning the buff window to what it used to be - There's plenty of dragoons that either use Potion where dragon-sight is in your rotation, but there is only 10 people in the top 50 that use 2.36 sets.../
    Yes, I'm aware. Which is why I also addressed the fact slowing Dragoon's GCD down would require significantly buffing their oGCDs. .5 is nothing to snuff at. And this is all to save one extra second on Dragon Sight or your pot. Put another way, the loss is completely negligible.

    As for the opener, you missed the arrow in the image. It isn't showcasing the 2.35 opener but saying "if your SkS is 2.36 or higher do this opener; if it's 2.35 or lower, do this opener instead." And you mean Riddle of Fire, the ability that almost every Monk despised so much they abandoned it in 5.05? I don't think that's a good example.
