Well that definitely introduces a bit of an odd new dynamic for Pallies. Also, oddly enough, a reasoning for picking a weapon other than 2H mace. Since cooldowns are now weapon-dependent for skills where they formerly weren't, a faster weapon means lower cooldowns and less energy. It may be better to start going CB -> Ret -> CB -> PS and then branching off to repeat the pattern if you can get Ret off CD in time, or actually moving on to using PS with only a single stack of the energy-saver buff if your 2H will support it, or even just accepting the loss of a potential stack of Sentence if your weapon can't keep up with energy demands. Now whether any of this will change DPS or not, who knows.
