    I just wanted to let you know a bit about "Bane" and that we are planning to make adjustments to the action help text.

    “Bane” can spread to up to three enemies. We balanced it in this way due to the fact that the action from the Garuda egi extends effect durations to the point where you can maintain close to a 30 second DoT, arcanists can utilize other magic, and pets deal their own damage.

    Compared to black mage’s “Fire II,” it’s somewhat inferior as burst damage, but depending on the situation “Bane” can deal more damage, so consider that fact that different situations lend themselves to different jobs.

    We apologize that the number of enemies “Bane” spreads to is not written clearly and we will be adjusting this in patch 2.1.
    This is false, the duration of the debuffs (and this is a reported bug) DOES NOT INCREASE FOR bane-shared debuffs!!! Contagion only increase the duration on first target, if you then use bane, they won't be shared with increased duration.

    Wait a sec after using Contagion, then pop Bane. Similar to how you can Fester before Bio fully lands, you can Bane before Contagion lands.

    No, the problem/bug is that Bane's 15% chance of resetting a DoTs timer, to the original duration, also resets if the timer is higher.

    If you Bio II + Contagion -> Bane, it has a 15% chance of being reset down to 30s duration rather than 31-45s.
