AST concept changes

Rewind works compared to Macrocosmos (press to apply buff, then press again to detonate is janky compared to 'press and it instantly rewinds the past 5s of damage)

Its because Macrocosmos isn't a rewind. Gives you health based on 50% of the damage you take. I think it would be awesome if it was a rewind thematically but I do like how it complies damage. It makes healing bleeds slightly more interesting than pressing CO.

Rewind is 'heals you for 50% of the damage you took over the past 5 seconds', it also compiles damage, it just doesn't have the 'put a buff on people first' part. You see people go from 100% to 10%, hit Rewind, now they're back at 55%. You put up Macro, watch people go from 100% to 10%, hit Microcosmos, they're back at 55%. Same functionality, just one doesn't involve the 'press to apply a buff' first, it dynamically keeps tracking the past 5 seconds. Macro's advantage is that it lasts longer (more window of compiled damage), but Rewind's is that it's a lot better as a 'o shit' button, which is probably more suited to the incoming damage profile that WOW has. Also it can be talented to either have 1min lower CD, or 2 charges but half effectiveness (healing 25% instead of 50%) so there's some versatility in it's functionality to be thought about too. I just don't like how Macro feels to use, having to press it once to apply a buff, then press it again to get the actual healing. It's like the server can't handle constantly tracking what damage was done in the past X seconds, so it has to be worked around with this janky hack method

When I think of a "rewind" I think of things like Mage's Alter Time from World of Warcraft or Ekko's Chronobreak from League of Legends
