Dragoon's Piercing Talon: Remove or Rework

[Shurrikhan]

The Backflip was more the 'get out after the last GCD'. The Piercing Talon enhancement would be a Charged Action effect, where it's available all the time, but the bonuses it provides are on a cooldown.

CDs within abilities, as opposed to merely on abilities, are something I'd really like to see, too, though for anything not typically a tremendous loss it usually seems to run the risk of "but did I really want that bonus right now?" At least we here have the perfect case for it here.

Charge-Up abilities I want to avoid until we see a working example that doesn't feel awful. Consider that a 'Charge Up' ability is like a Cast Time ability but not back-ended. our primary example of this is Flamethrower, and it feels awful.

It probably doesn't help that while WoW has something like 50hz update ticks for just about everything, XIV seems to run on at less than 10hz for detecting our position and periodic tick effects are checked only once per 1, 2, (most often) 3, or 4 seconds as just a "buff exists y/n?" check. Yeah, we would need an example of something responsive, or at least of measured client-trust that isn't so broadly exploitable as to be worth hacking to significant effect, before that'd we worth using. But given how lucrative the concept could be, I'd like to see it worked towards.
