Idea for Dragoon Changes

[Renkei]

It's a perfectly Valid Example. It's not just 1 second, It's 3.5 seconds, Check all Instances of the Savage Battles logged if you need more infromation in the GCD Timings, Riddle of Fire Increase GCD and raised over-all damage.

This was Mentioned in the OP - I Didn't want to hand hold to give examples for math but fine here's a logical Conclusion for you, If you increase the GCD by 20% for example, then you increase damage output by 20% by Buffing Blood of the Dragon.

This Dynamically changes the opener

Example 1- I've ran some Simulations Mathematically and came to the Conclusion that if you buff Blood of the Dragons effect and add a 20% Flat Damage Increase at the cost of 20% GCD, you are buffing Dragon-fire Dive, Geir, Nastrond, Star-diver not to mention the damage from your DOT.

Example 2 - Gain Results in Dragoon Solving Clipping Issues, Gives Perfect Raid Buff Alignment, Makes up for the loss of Heavy Thrust Indirectly.

Example 3 - Dragoon is oGCD Heavy Already, if you increased damage output by the a flat amount, all oGCDs will be getting indirectly buffed. Nastrod and Jump are the biggest damage Dealers for oGCDs, all the gains end up being near 5% which is around 825 DPS, I Wouldn't call that "Negligible" hell i wouldnt even call it net-neutral

off topic Balance Inquiry : Why isn't Life Surge changed to flat damage increase?

You're not reading what I'm saying. I didn't say it wasn't plausible but rather Monk mains despised it. Therefore, giving Dragoon a permanent version of an ability Monk players hated isn't a good idea.

And all because you're trying to save a single second on your potion or Dragon Sight. It's change for changes sake that will likely piss off people far more than being a welcomed addition. Bards have been pre-pulling potting since Heavensward. It really isn't a big deal.

You aren't offering anything constructive to this thread; I've read all your replies thoroughly and the only argument you have is a straw-man one based on another class which is clearly off topic - I am not interesting in arguments.

It isn't a straw-man to compare an idea you brought up to one that already existed prior, and was much maligned by the playerbase. At this point, you're just upset I've pointed out your suggestions are neither necessary nor beneficial.
