I enjoy GNBs current playstyle, that's why I main'd it in Shadowbringers. The main concern is the oGCDs you are forced to use before your next GCD otherwise you suffer a decent chunk of damage penalty purely because there is no flexibility with it.

Currently there only 3GCDs that force an oGCD that you have to use every 30sec. That's fine, a headache at certain times, but completely workable. In fact, one of the workarounds was to use a Burst Strike mid Gnashing Fang combo to double weave or move a boss, and they completely stripped that away. Double Down/Sonic Break only give us two chances during 1min bursts, but even then we are already double weaving during those bursts as is, and those aren't even an available option for the Gnashing Combo in between No Mercy bursts like Burst Strike is.

Potential fix: Keep Hypervelocity an oGCD Continuation after Burst Strike, but put it on a 30sec or 60sec cooldown with an increased potency of 600-1200 depending on the cooldown, and whatever would make sense for using it only once in a while instead of after every Burst Strike. We still get the cool move, it's still a continuation after Burst Strike, but reduces the total number of forced oGCDs to a more manageable number.
