Personally, I’ve always disliked Improvisation as a level 80 ability. It’s not the greatest thing to have, compared to getting things like Technical Finish at level 70. That felt more like a “level cap” skill as opposed to Improv.

If it wasn’t tied to Esprit generation, I would likely not hate it as much as I do. But it bothers my OCD way too much to use Esprit during downtime—and people move out of it, thereby jacking up my Esprit gain. You can’t do anything with 1~9 points of Esprit, and it irritates me so much. It is possible to weave it in for a quick healing boost, since the buff does linger for a few seconds after it deactivates—but then again, if people aren’t stacked, your Esprit gain is messed up. And, honestly, for most content, it’s overkill because healers are already extremely powerful.

Honestly, I’d almost be happy with the Esprit generation being removed entirely. Even my statics in the past have had members that refuse to stand in it, and then they get mad when I tell them to stand in it because they’re screwing me over. I don’t care if you don’t need the healing buff but I want Esprit generation, and we aren’t doing anything else during transition phases/downtime. The tank in the group I was in for Eden’s Verse was really bad about moving out of it during the transition to Titan Maximum, so I’d go into him with 59 Esprit and be mad about it.
