What would be a good DoT Caster Job to Replace old SMN?

Necro most def. Dunno if it fits FF lore.

How about a MIMIC based class? I wouldnt mind an Enchanter type with CHARM skills. Also, Tamer/Beast Master type of class. Something with strong pets thats not Primal based, but I know pets seem to be frowned upon here for w/e reason.

As an oldschool MMO player, this.
A proper pet class and good debuffs/crowd control/dots is exactly what I miss most these days.
I don't want to play games like WOW for good pet gameplay (DAoC is sadly much too old now).

Time Mage would be a interesting choice for our DoT caster. Would have Time related spells which could be DoTs primarily and provide support like RDM does but instead of cures things like haste/slow/rewind(regen)

Ooh, I like this idea! Gaia pretty much was a sort of time Mage herself with her caster delayed spells. Could definitely see the devs implementing a job based on this and the way Gaia fights with her magic.

How would a tamer/beast master job function with DoTs? Not against the idea, but I'm just curious how it would function. I like the idea of enchanter with charm based skills. But Mimic...I'm struggling to imagine how this one, too would function with DoT skills, sorry. Could you please go into more detail on this one, too.

bad wording on my part. I didnt mean those as Dot based classes just other type of classes in general. I didnt have an idea on Dot based other than liking Necromancer, mainly because I played one al long time ago.

MIMIC based as in, like the old FF MIMIC character(s?), your entire kit is copying everyone elses moves. Doubt it could actually work but is FF based at least.

Saw this and immediately thought of WoW and became sick at the stomach. The thought of seeing some kind of hunter in this game running around with animal pets just made me vomit. I hope for the sanity of many of us, Square Enix does not make this one true.
