    SMN is DoT-centric because that's the ACN part of SMN where we use Arcanima for dealing damage, which just happens to be DoTs.

    Besides, letting SMNs do flashy summons often would be asking for terrible lag in 24-man duties or 72-man PVP if a pre-made decided to troll with multiple SMNs.

    And where in the geometric/tactical motifs given to the Arcanists did it explain "this is why we give people diseases" or tell us that to Arcanist is to "DoT em up, bro"? Really, the "lore" leaves these surface matters pretty well untouched. Significant amounts of gameplay can be changed without actually having to go back and replace much, if any, text.
