Quality of Life Adjustments

[PreemptiveRegret]

OnnM or whoever, please consider the following changes.

1) Battle Preparation should last longer.
2) Potency should last longer and not expire out of combat.
3) Forced March should persist like Hunter's Find the Path does in combat so you don't need to constantly reactivate it.
4) Our ranged Auto-Attack range should be increased to match the range of Javelin gambits, it is currently lower.
4.5) Also the Fist builder should have a 30 range too. Without baseline Jav skills it's harder to pull mobs, this would help. Would be nice if the +range trait affected this too.
5) Rapid Techniques should automatically give you Potency. (lowest priority but I like the idea)

I'm surprised none of these or similar changes made it in with the recent revamp because the restrictions on these skills don't contribute anything positive to your gameplay. Instead it's so extremely frustrating to have time your Battle Prep and Potency correctly for each pull and having to suffer the whims of uncertain NPC dialogue length, other players hesitating, other players jumping the gun, etc. No other class in the game has this kind of precasting requirements for pulls. I honestly think I've developed Goad anxiety with how important it is now for Spear of Fate and/or Warden's Triumph at the start of pulls, and it makes me really unhappy each time I miss the Potency window and I hate constantly having to spam Battle Prep on top of this and having to time the two (really 3, because you need Prep and Goad for Potency) all together exactly right for what is effectively like a 3s window of viability. This is all just in Red line mind you, in Blue it's even worse because you're managing all of your Shield gambit buffs on top of Battle Prep and Potency. Can we please get something to ameliorate the burden of precasting for pulls? Even if you want to keep pre-buffing, the window for some of these things shouldn't be so very small.
