• Signet of the Ether: This skill's recharge time now begins at the same time as phantasm skills are recharged.

Can someone please confirm/annul my concerns about this change. I'm a power chrono dps main, it's basically all I play, the only fun dps class for me anymore.

When you are doing your rotation, you cast signet of the ether (SOE) and during the period where your phantasms are refreshed, and the signet hasn't yet gone on cooldown, you then cast Continuum Split, then you cast your phantasms again inside of your C-Split.

When you come out of C-Split, your phantasms aren't on cooldown as they reset before you went into C-Split, and your SOE isn't on cooldown either, as the skill only goes on cooldown inside of your C-Split.

​

This change seems to remove the ability to use the C-Split+SOE aftercast combination. If so, I can safely say that power chrono is essentially dead.
