    I mean we can argue semantics all you want about this. Its just really, really lazy design.
    I'm not particularly happy that DRK and GNB already share the exact same skill with Heart of Light and Dark Missionary being the exact same skill. I don't want to see this done more

    Guess what I'm missing is how does this change change any of this? Wouldn't this "mini burst" consist of exactly what DRK does now, except we're clicking 3 buffs instead of two?You're not going to use it without using Delirium and BW.
    Its going to be a use on cd buff skill, to keep it inline with buff windows.
    Which is exactly what Living Shadow is now, but we're changing something for the sake of changing something. Its not going to feel better or worse, its just different.

    You'd still have a grueling 45 seconds of 123 spam, the only difference is DRK's 1min burst, which already exists, would use 3 buffs, and hit slightly harder. The only difference it could even bring is maybe you'd dump your resources from overcapping here specifically, but again. You do that anyway now. In terms of gameplay nothing would change except one more skill to weave at the 1m burst window.

    But if you're honestly truly arguing that giving a self buff skill with a 1 minute cooldown is somehow unique in Endwalker's 2 minute burst meta obsession then lol.
    Its not going to change anything about DRK feeling dull to you.
