DNC closed position switch

[Stasya]

I'm assuming you're referring to the fact that you have to hit Ending before applying Closed Position on someone else?

While I do agree it is kind of clunky, undoubtedly the skill is designed like this to prevent enterprising Dancers from just repeatedly swapping Closed Position on different party members until both DPS are buffed with Standard Finish. While this is feasibly hard to pull off, it is still possible seeing as Standard Finish lasts a minute and Standard Step only has a 30 second recast. Once both DPS were buffed all the Dancer would have to do is recast Standard Finish every 30 seconds to keep both DPS buffed, which goes against the Dancer's unique partner system. This is arguably why Technical Finish exists, is to give Dancers the opportunity to provide for the rest of the party outside their Dance Partner.

Your comparison with Kardia is flawed seeing as Kardia only provides healing and not a long-lasting 5% damage increase, and as a healer being able to swap Kardia to whoever is taking more damage at the moment is important.

Easy. Just make rule that only 1 person in party can have buff from dancer thats it

Except then that invalidates the fact that in some instances, swapping your Dance Partner in the middle of a fight is actually something that needs to be done, particularly if you're trying to line up with a DPS' personal burst phase. Then you'll have to wait the full minute for Standard Finish to fall off the other DPS before you can apply Closed Position to the new DPS-- except by then, said new DPS is likely done with their burst phase and you just swapped partners for no reason.

I'm not trying to sound rude, but this is why you guys aren't developers. You see one thing that is a "problem" that needs fixing and then don't consider how your solution affects other things. The OP is merely disgruntled that they can't just swap at the press of one button and doesn't consider why the ability is set up that way.

No. Just remove Standard Finish and Esprit from the old dance partner either (A) when they lose dance partner or (B) when you grant Standard Finish and Esprit to a new partner.

Also "but this is why you guys aren't developers" is really funny considering how devs themselves have had really funny abilities and the COMMUNITY suggested better alternatives.
need I remind you of old shake it off? lmao. it was literally useless in raids until the community told the devs that it needs to be changed
gotta love those who blindly defends devs and don't want abilities to be upgraded\fixed cause "the devs know better"
if you think the devs can't make this clunky dnc partner switch better then you're just delusional buddy

Or just make it that swapping Dance partners is an actual part of the skill ceiling by making CP swap like Kardia. That's probably an unpopular opinion though, but I would enjoy it.
