Scholar - Art of War II - AoE Debuff or Blind or slow.

I miss the classic "Bane" system of AOE Damage over time or Please bring back AOE DoT's through adding to Art of War II > Art of War III.

To be realistic, they not going to do that. Not impossible, they can do an equivalent version of sacred soil, but does DoT dmg in the field and a slow…..bring back shadow flare. It’ll just cost a aether stack.

While more...frankly boring...it might be the better solution given that. Otherwise, if you had a boss fight with adds, the SCH would be left spamming Miasma. And while not the WORST thing ever, it wouldn't be ideal.

You're not the only one who would like to see this made a reality. :)
