Done a lot of edits on my class configs (SHD/SHM/NEC mostly, to some extent BST/MAG/BRD), but I can't directly PR them directly as I have removed any such notion of being compatible across level ranges. Instead, I'm personalizing something more akin to a KA/MA ini; but there are definitely some things that may be worth while to add to the main configs.

Any advice on how to proceed with that? Is it something people are interested in having a look at? Would I be better off trying to PR the features I know that will hold across broad level ranges?

Examples of what I mean, most of it simple, some of it notsomuch (for my jank non-coding ass):
*Split SHM debuff rotation into separate Malo and Slow to reduce/eliminate Malo>(something from DPS rotation)>Slow from being a thing
*Split HPStopDot between trash and named on SHM/NEC
*Stole/reused some code designed/contained in the pull module to add a toggle of what minimum con color to bother with slow/malo on SHM/MAG (so they help mow down light blues/greens/etc a little better)
*Spent a good bit of time tinkering with SK, adding rotations, more emergency/low health triggers, split DPS rotation prioritize getting taps/spears in more often with a second DPS rotation focused on others and doing things like maintaining recourses like torrent, tap gift, etc.
*Heavily cleaned up NEC DPS/DOTS to give more flexibility/balance for fast-paced killing

Overall i've been heavily impressed and inspired by what I'm seeing when I start digging, so a huge shoutout to the developers and contributers who put this together! I'm having a TON of fun learning and tinkering as I go, but I'm definitely not a developer so I've largely been working within the framework of what already exists and tweaking (and even some of that will be jank and need refactor I'm sure).

I'm not sure what the overall goal/direction is here, more specifically, if the things I'm doing move things further along or are just niche/nitpicky/way more involved than desired. I'm also still leveling and relearning the game as I go, and while I do my homework, I still have a lot to learn.

Thank you for getting through my wall of text.

OH: as a frame of reference my dudes are all 110-115 at the moment, and I've been tinkering since they were about 90 (which is where they were when I returned to the game after a dozen years or w/e). I have huge holes in my knowledge before/after that level range, especially for TLP type stuff.
