Can we please fix the ongoing DoTs issue, please

[Evangela]

I hate relying on other people. If I need a debuff on the target I'll do it. I'm not gonna change myself just because of some warrior shows up.

Okay so I have no ckue where thus shoukd go as the suggestion page is apparently wrong, but I digress. Anyway, this has been an ongoing issue that I wish SE would fix please. The problem is in raid-wide content, where everyone is placing their DoTs and debuffs on the enemies/boss that sometimes your DoTs/debuffs dont show up, and you are left wondering, when to refresh or if the DoT/debuff even showed up at all. This is a big issue for Summoners, Scholars, and Bards, who rely on DoTs fod a big part of their damage. Andto add insult to injury, with skills like Sidewinder and Fester, sometimes they don't register if the DoT markers aren't there. Please SE can you fix this. The DoTs/debuffs I place should always be viewabld on my screen.

Simply MUST agree with the op concern , its been long enough se fix the issue and yes it IS an issue. Please stop gimping out on so many features by doing the bare minimum only..the game functions...awesome!! now its time to tweak the basic ui, ui features and things like the op mentioned.

Personal dots applied should always ..ALWAYS be visible, no exceptions.
Also it is time to remove the forum post character limit.

I'm not gonna look for WAR's debuff icon on enemy before making a decision for my next combo.

Mind your own business, or no more Goad for WARs.

Cause its such a hard icon to memorise and is so difficult to actually look, ¬_¬ and now you're just being petty.

Also if any warrior is worth their salt and is fully aware a Ninja is on their team, they will do their slashing debuff combo leaving you free to do full dps. It also only takes 5 seconds to ask the warrior to do their slashing debuff.
But... "Oh no! 5 seconds I have to spend talking to other people! oh woe is me! I'm gonna threaten not to Goad Warriors now because I'm expected to actually look at what I'm doing and cooperate with the people I'm playing this mmorpg with."

If you're not gonna bother making that tiny bit of extra effort then seriously why are you playing a game that involves playing with others if you aren't willing to cooperate and work in tandem with people to get the best outcome in a fight.

Telling people to mind their own business is just proving the point that its not that you don't want to look and put the effort in, you just simply can't be arsed to be a team player.

What do you guys want from me? If you overwrite my dancing edge, I'll reapply it. And if I lose damage, the party loses it too. I don't care.

But if you have a warrior in the group you don't need to apply it in the first place, why is this so hard to understand?

You are being given free reign to do your full dps rotation, why would you willingly give that up so you can put your slash debuff on when the Warrior can do that for you and thus allow them to do a more optimal combo for themselves and allowing you to also do an optimal combo.

If the warrior knows what he's doing / you communicate with him and ask him to apply his version of the slash debuff then you can do full dps with no setbacks.

Your whole reasoning for the party losing damage is just pointless and pathetic. Simply saying you don't care is just asinine and you're just leading me to believe that your posts are simply bait and you're nothing but a troll because no one would be this petty about doing their job roles.

[Evangela]

I understand it but I don't want to do it. Why did they design the game like this? A debuff from one job can be overwritten by another job. And why it has to be one job that has to change? Why don't make WAR change their rotation when a NIN shows up? Or make them equal?

That's my standpoint. I'm not gonna change.

Well aren't you just a cooperative delight to play with.

When warrior handles the slashing debuff, you have more time to focus on your optimal dps rotation without keeping dancing edge up.

If you want to fight them for who's keeping the slashing debuff off, it's only your loss, not theirs. Because we can still keep up our optimal dps rotation. You're the one losing out. If you don't like it, leave the duty every time you're partnered with a warrior.

It would be nice if our own dots were more visible. Currently you can distinguish them from the green tinge of the numerical countdown but it's hard to see.

They made non-White Mage Protect equal to the WHM Protect. So something can change if there's enough complaints.

You see.. the thing is that was a genuine problem that made SCH's and AST's worse off when it came to 4-mans and the like, so they equalised Stoneskin and Protect rather than simply just giving those two jobs their own versions of the abilities.

There is literally zero problem with how the slashing debuff works other than your own issues with refusing to be a team player.

The only issue it has is the same as all other time based abilities, they don't all show up on the mobs which is an entirely separate issue and what this thread was mainly about.
