Which is my point, you’ve basically described situations where they have enforced a 2 minute meta by alternating downtime with burst phases, the “uptime” is never filler in these types of situations. PCT can further benefit from this because it gains free potency from targetless downtime but this type of design is always going to benefit jobs that run on CD’s rather than gauge generation and will always benefit burst profiles more heavily. Remember when BLM needed non standard just to even be half viable in EW ultimates because it’s flat damage profile was useless

Like you can nerf PCT but that doesn’t change the fact that the current design just so overwhelmingly benefits burst jobs and constrains design and retrofitting wonky bursts to non bursting jobs like with RDM just makes the jobs feel bad to fit a meta they weren’t designed around
