Figured it would be a good idea to give an illustration of how I intend AST to play with these changes:
Prepull:
Stargazer
Contemplation - The Arrow or The Spear (when going for Supernova in the opener)
Contemplation - The Ewer or The Spire (when going for Stasis of Time in the opener)
Contemplation - The Balance or The Bole (when going for Balance spread in the opener)
I think the job should be balanced around having Stasis of Time in the opener for raids as the best option, followed by The Arrow & The Spear spread through Supernova and lastly Balance spread through Shared Consciousness.
In any case, the following rotation against a dummy target goes for Supernova in the opener, followed by Stasis of Time and Shared Consciousness.
Prepull:
Stargazer
Contemplation - The Arrow (or The Spear)
When Global Cooldown is at 2,5s:
Malefic - 2.5
Gaze - 2.5
Draws The Arrow
Stargazer - 5s
Sealed Fate - The Arrow
Destiny embraced - The Spear
Fate Denied - The Ewer or The Balance or The Bole
Contemplation - The Spire
10 seconds
Malefic - 2,5
Reflection - 2,5
Arrow is drawn
Stella - 2,5
Arrow is played, The Spear is drawn and played.
Time Dilation
The Arrow - 45 seconds buff
The Spear - constant buff
Malefic - 2,5
20 Seconds
Supernova - 2,5s (recast)
Shares The Spear and Arrow(40s) with the whole party
Three cards remain
Star's Recreation - 2.5
Six cards remain
Malefic - 2,5s
Gaze - 2,5s
Draws The Spire
30 seconds
Stargaze - 5s
Sealed Fate - The Spire
Destiny Embraced - The Ewer
Fate Denied - The Spear, The Arrow, The Balance
Contemplation - The Bole
Malefic - 2,5
Reflection - 2,5
Draws The Ewer
40 seconds
Stella - 2,5
Plays The Spire, draws The Ewer and plays it
The Spire- 15s buff
The Ewer - constant buff, overwrites The Spear
Stasis of Time - 5s
Stars' Recreation - 2,5s
50 seconds
Malefic - 2,5s
Gaze - 2,5s
Draws The Bole
Stargaze - 5s
50 seconds
Sealed Fate - The Bole
Destiny Embraced - The Balance
Fate Denied - The Arrow, The Spear, The Spire, The Ewer
Rewind - 4s
Contemplation - The Arrow
Malefic - 2,5
Reflection - 2,5
Draws The Bole
59s
Stella - 2,5
Plays the Bole, draws and plays The Balance
The Bole - 15s buff (if Time Dilation is not)
The Balance - constant
Shared Consciousness - Ability
Stars Recreation - 2,5
64s
And from here on out everything loops. If instead of going for The Arrow + The Spear Spread, the player wants to go for Stasis of Time they will have to use Contemplation on either The Ewer and/or The Spire during Rewind if they want to get the maximum potential out of Stasis of Time.
Note that this is purely for illustration purposes, to communicate how I envision the job to play out with the changes proposed.
Healing on GCD can be done almost at any point between combos and channels.
I would like the implementation of Raise on oGCD.
