New Caster DPS - Roll Skills

[Sedalia]

Let's see those "good caster dps roll skills".

Wizard stance would be permanently up when there is a target available, you can make it a trait at this point.
Casters are already the most fragile role with high damage. That idea is already ingame, just not implemented the way you see it.
Also, there is a reason why SQEX removed "Blood for blood" damage taken increased and any stance dance.

Sleep -> RDM and SMN already have a bind skill and BLM has access to sleep. Both have the same use, to allow a safe escape against world mobs.
Same thing, it exist but it's no implemented how you want to see it.
Plus, it would be limited to certain content (potd, bozja) and bind/sleep is either resisted or does its work.

Damage skill is not a "role skill".

Damage Siphon is deeply flawed. Imagine a skill offers more damage AND utility, which way do you think it will be prioritized?
That's right, damage. Therefore casters would use "Damage Siphon" when they can deal more damage, not when they can mitigate damage.
Never mix utility and damage, this is a terrible mistake as the skill will be viewed as a damage skill first and not utility. We have too many examples of that.

I actually use sleep differently then bind. actually yah sure you can use it to run away. but way i use it is that if get myself surrounded by monsters sleep allows me take one out one by one . bind really cant do that cause it doesn't give you enough time
yah i use this as excape tool over sleep no problem but in anyway sleep is more powerful then bind

black mages sleep lasts good long while. its not coming off anytime soon. most likely you can kill one or two monsters with it before pops off. however blizzard too is extremely weak. its low level aoe too with bind attached to it. even as blm i never used it or any caster dps for that matter.

however I see sleep being hell lot more useful to caster dps. then blizzard II

Bind does the work.
And in the most extreme situation.

The rest of your proposal have one or multiple flaws that wouldn't make them good role skills. Or simply don't belong in "Role skills".
If you complain about the caster state, please take a look at Ranged.

Every Caster role skill can be used in battle. 3 out of 4 are used in every battle, the rest is situationnal.
Ranged role skill, 1 out of 6 is used in every battle and the rest is situationnal with peloton being a joke.
