So it has been stated that the goal of Aug is for those who may not necessarily be the best, but want to help out and support the group.
I feel the fact that there is inbuilt cd desync that is fixed via a later (now mandatory) talent and good play is counter to the that design philosophy.
I think just reducing upheavals cd by 10 seconds (to match the other empowers) or to place accretion on a choice node with 10second cdr for upheaval (perhaps at the expense of a small throughput loss) would serve the goal better.
Although I have to ask myself why is there a capstone level talent just to make our empowers always line up? This just takes a capstone choice away and makes it mandatory?
P.s. make time skip more viable too. Such an interesting concept but is under utilized button. Should be buffed or removed.
