Please stop removing Damage Over Time effects from every job, add more complexity

[Shurrikhan]

People seem to be conflating busy with difficult or punishing, HW DRG wasn't busier, it was more punishing. Missing positionals led to a significant potency loss and rotational mistakes could easily end up with you dropping Blood of the Dragon, leading to an even higher dps loss.

That's not necessarily a conflation; the posts just claimed, as is very easily argued, that HW DRG happened to be both.

You had faintly higher oGCD density, slightly more decision-making, and couldn't so automate your positionals. The positionals could be just 20 potency bonuses each and, so long as most DRGs would opt to them, the way BotD worked then would still leave it a busier job due to a combination of apm and watching and leveraging one's remaining BotD duration and CD to spend towards Geirskogul keeping you more on your toes.

Not a better designed one. Not even necessarily a more difficult one. But a slightly busier one, independent of its being more punishing.
