Leader - REBEL COORDINATION
OLD FINAL TEXT: Rebel allies have +25 Speed and +10% Tenacity. In addition, whenever an ally uses an ability that isn't an attack, they call a Rebel ally to Assist.

NEW FINAL TEXT (OMICRON): Rebel allies have +25 Speed and +10% Tenacity. In addition, whenever an ally uses an ability that isn't an attack, they call a Rebel ally to Assist.

While in Grand Arenas: At the start of battle, all allies gain Tenacity Up for 2 turns. If all allies are Rebel, whenever an ally's buff expires, they gain 3% Turn Meter. In addition, if all allies are Rebel, whenever an ally uses an ability that isn't an attack, recover all allies' Health by 5%, call the other 2 weakest allies to assist, and reduce their cooldowns by 1.

Seriously, you guys have *got* to get better at wording things without ambiguity. You need templated wording where the community can read the ability and *know* what something does instead of having to guess until you come in and clarify how something is supposed to work. I went from being excited about this and spending a pretty decent amount of time reviewing options and putting together a post meant to encourage discussion and theorycrafting (all pro-community things that you should encourage) to just being frustrated and uninterested due to the ambiguity in the wording.

Since there was confusion about who was being granted turn meter, based on the placement of a comma, you need to settle this as well:

In addition, if all allies are Rebel, whenever an ally uses an ability that isn't an attack, recover all allies' Health by 5%, call the other 2 weakest allies to assist, and reduce their cooldowns by 1.

Whose cooldowns are being reduced? The "other 2 weakest allies"? or is the comma implying that the cooldowns being reduced are for the "ally uses an ability that isn't an attack"? It certainly seemed, at first reading, that it was the 2 weakest allies.

If you want to reduce ambiguity, the ability should be worded something like this:

In addition, if all allies are Rebel, whenever an ally uses an ability that isn't an attack, reduce that character's cooldowns by 1, recover all allies' Health by 5%, and call the other 2 weakest allies to assist.

Or like this:

In addition, if all allies are Rebel, whenever an ally uses an ability that isn't an attack, call the other 2 weakest allies to assist and reduce their cooldowns by 1, and recover all allies' Health by 5%.

Depending on intent. Please clarify.

P.S. While we're clarifying things, please also clarify what "the other 2 weakest allies" means. The other 2 weakest allies not counting the one using the ability that isn't an attack? The other 2 weakest allies other than Ackbar?
