With the changes to six-sided star, it now will whack a (single) target for 1580 potency (!) when 10 Chakra are opened from Brotherhood.
Thing is.. it never needed setup before, and was used as "gotta go fast" before Exit, Stage Left. On top of that, you could, with a little extra attention, weave it in now and then when you had Forbidden Chakra up, because FC was the ONLY thing that SSS did not put on cooldown - so you could hit SSS, then FC, then runveryfast. So you weren't totally wasting the extra downtime from its 4-second CD.
Now, however, it needs to eat 10 Chakra and so of course you cannot weave Forbidden Chakra with it. Worse, it used to be a "pop this to smack the boss and run away" button you could use at a moment's notice - now it needs the full 10-count from Brotherhood as setup to do its damage.
Does Six-Sided Star have a use now? Does the metric crapton of burstwhack justify the doubled global? Or is it now even less useful?
