Just wanna say I love that Fire's Reply and Wind's Reply are GCDs, and I especially love that Fire's Reply gives you Formless Fist. I'd actually like to see even more GCDs that break out of the standard forms, for example a low-medium potency punch that neither consumes nor grants any form, which you could use at a small dps loss to align yourself ahead of a burst window much like how SAM uses filler strings dependent on their SkS to align for burst. I'd call it One-Yalm Punch and give it a shorter range than most melee skills to make it a bit more interesting.

I have mixed feelings about the removal of timers. It hasn't changed the filler gameplay but the burst definitely requires less thought than it did in EW. However if the devs decide to make the job harder to play, I'd rather that be by reintroducing more positionals (e.g. on raptor GCDs) instead of bringing back timers.
