Similar happened when 4.2 WAR happened, expert theorycrafters decided it 'felt like a nerf' to WAR damage because IR was going to change from 120s to 90s (it no longer aligns with Trick, must be a nerf!) Turned out guaranteed Crit/DHit meant it was actually a sizeable buff.

Something tells me that GCD cards would be one of those 'you have to try it before you can really say either way' kind of changes in the same vein. I also don't particularly like the sound of GCD cards either, but I'd be at least willing to give it a try before passing full judgement. Maybe it'd feel smoother in some way, maybe it'd allow us to use Lightspeed for mobility instead of it being forced into 'use it to be allowed to play your class', who knows
Yeah, it would be a thing you'd have to try, all I can do is give feedback on what I see on paper, but I don't see the point in trying a GCD system when we have an oGCD system that worked (SB) is my point. And after 2 expansions of a card system that I don't really like, I'm not interested in having a third.
