Unless they add more than just the one skill we know of to the adders bite gauge, then its likely to be a very seldom used thing. Even in a dungeon your spam aoe ability is 170 potency to all and toxicon gets halved beyond the first. It would be better attack wise to just mindlessly mash dyscrasia (and keep the cardia regen going) rather than use that gcd shield followed by toxicon. All of this is assuming an ogcd shield doesn't exist for sage that would provide a bite stack. If one does that could change things and allow for weaving every now and then but currently seems very meh overall. Hurry up embargo I need more infooooooooo xD.
Sage has oGCD shield. They have the cubic barrier on 120sec cd. And after using the barrier they gain 5 stacks of something.

It looks that the AoE version of the Cubic Barrier overwrites the stacks and the effect of the ST barrier. There was also another ability that looked like a self-buff for 30s on 90s cd. Probably healing-related. The 5 stacks buff seems to get absorbed as HP when the timer runs out.
