Played DNC for a while this expansion, and my biggest gripe with it is literally Tillana. When you know your friends in a 8-man are mashing buttons? I see that gauge go from 0 to 100 pretty darn fast. Tillana is a great ability to use since it's one of our big hitters next to enhanced Standard, Saber Dance, and Starfall.
The issue is that DNC gets too much Gauge to even manage, and if they're full? All that extra Gauge goes to waste, including procs from allies during the 2m window.
There's a good way to fix it without destroying the buff cap that's already there(which tbh the Devs should REALLY take a look at expanding): Turn Tech Step into a Combo that doesn't break. Tech Step changes to Tillana(no Gauge added), changes into Dance of the Dawn. Easy enough so that DNC can actually manage their gauge because there's already plenty of that from their basic GCDs as is alongside utilizing Last Dance.
The "Feast or Famine" design in DNC is really what causes problems with Tillana's Gauge increase in the first place, so by making it a complete combo utilizing the new systems involved that change Actions, it makes it a lot easier and leaves Saber to be used for Gauge only or to dump in burst.
