Besides, even BRD can't multi-DoT. With the losses of Bane, Aero III and Miasma II, the only jobs that can right now are BLM and (bit ironically) PLD.
God do I remember the DoT Vomit that happened on a boss' debuff bar in Stormblood in Eureka. Literally made SMN unplayable at times unless you got your DoT in via server tick. However, I think some PLDs want Atonement to mean something again since we literally only just stab once and then go into 60s burst window after a full rotation. Also, as for the idea about a Black Magic Swordsman? I don't want to be frank, but I think that may be a bit of a stretch given how they can be on lore(believe me, DRK and BLM lore are actually pretty good) in their game unless you're a Healer that isn't SGE. I'd rather they work on the current aesthetic, but just fix the f***ing job flow. That's literally all that is grinding against DRK right now is that its Job Flow is HORRIBLE.
