Do SMN and BRD need 2 DoTs?

[YusiKha]

To be fair, this could be said for regular dps moves too. Ruin 2 and Ruin 3 only do flat damage, and they are both on the same timer, do we really need two? I mean can't we just combine them into one?

DoT jobs are DoT jobs and flat dmg jobs are flat dmg jobs. Just cause we have 2 abilities that do the same thing doesn't mean we should merge them or get rid of one cause reasons.

Ruin 3 and Ruin 2 do different things though, as one has a cast time and higher damage, the other is instant but allows abilities to be weaved. This is more akin to asking that ruin 2 turn into ruin 4 instead of being separate buttons.
