Thoughts on PLD/GNB/DRK

[Insertusernamehere]

Thank you for your reply, but I don't think you've read all of my suggestions either.

First, I have conceded Hypervelocity after Double Down is probably too much, but Hypervelocity is a Continuation and therefore oGCD, it would not need to be skipped during AoE; there is at least as much room in the AoE rotation for Fated Circle as there is in the single target rotation for Burst Strike, if not more, so it follows that there's at least as much room for Hypervelocity to follow Fated Circle as there is for Hypervelocity to follow Burst Strike. Sure, it would do negligible damage, but that's not the point, it would be there to activate my fourth suggestion, which is a mitigation buff on Continuation. You wouldn't Hypervelocity after Fated Circle for the extra damage, you'd do it for the extra mitigation, and the feeling of pulling the Gunblade trigger.

Second, you say "Corundum only reliable mitigation skill you can use in Continuation", but that just agrees with my point entirely. You're already granting that Continuation is going on while you need mitigation, so why not let Continuation also grant mitigation? If Continuation also adds a mitigation buff, then New Corundum + New Continuation >= Current Corundum. See this reply for the explanation:

"First, I have conceded Hypervelocity after Double Down is probably too much, but Hypervelocity is a Continuation and therefore oGCD, it would not need to be skipped during AoE; there is at least as much room in the AoE rotation for Fated Circle as there is in the single target rotation for Burst Strike, if not more, so it follows that there's at least as much room for Hypervelocity to follow Fated Circle as there is for Hypervelocity to follow Burst Strike."

Even if they add it people will not use it reason is simple.. we use AOE mostly at trash pulls and we often weave different mitigation skills between AOE: reprisal.. / arms length / aurora.. etc..
Adding a single target damage trigger (even with extra 2.5 sec mitigation) does not make sense because most likely many people will skip it for the healer comfort and proper mitigation (20 second mitigation skills). But.. If they design it as AOE (Hypervelocity AOE) and put reasonable mitigation with reasonable duration.. It might be useful but not worth to loosing HoC

I also read your second suggestion about "Continuation Mitigation" but how SE will implement it or will it be reliable? I am not sure..
I have to start Gnashing Fang... and I must hit Continuation to get buff. I am not sure how much it will be reliable in tank buster situation. Keeping current on demand mitigation (HoC) seems more reliable.

My personal opinions Ty.
