ENSPELLS have always been underwhelming in FFXI since Redmages. I'm not sure why SquareEnix restrains magic so much in this game especially for the NON-nuking jobs. DoT's, etc are underwhelming most give about 100-200 damage per effect(pulled that out of my butt).

Logically, I understand that all these Dot's and enspells cumalatively would add to alot of dps, but realistically a Redmage especially is doing other things most battles like haste, refreshing, curing etc.

I would love one of these math genius, to post a battle damage comparison chart listing a basic redmage vs X job. Where all cumalative damage are compared.

I'm only a lvl 16 rune so I haven't seen the full effect of a lvl 99 rune.. but I feel it's underwhelming at the moment. I basically feel like a weak-ass redmage.
