.....yeah, from the complete overhaul, that's what I kept thinking about. Well for BRD, not so much on their DoTs. They pretty much fine as they are once they kept using iron jaws to restart the timer. SMNs on the other hand, say if they were to just give them 1 DoT, it'll just make the class a bit more clunky to play, making it's rotation more awkward to deal with. Then will have to ask, what can they do to make it interesting for the userbase to accept a 1 DoT SMN? Give it a 100 potency a tick for 30secs, but the additional effect..or additional trait of enkindle where each crit tick, gives it a 30% chance in reducing the CD of enkindle by 5 secs, giving more purpose to use your pet more. I'm just spitballing ideas to justify it going to 1 DoT SMN...
