And just because people are using the word DOTs doesn't always mean Bio/Miasma. FF does have elemental related dots; Burn, Rasp, Choke, that could be utilized in anyway that's more engaging with what we have now. Also anything and everything in this game can be considered a dot if we wanna pull out the meme table.

I don't care for dots myself. Never put much attention in Warlock when playing wow and never cared for it on SMN. But removing so much spells from us with nothing to replace them and then pet abilities taken away from lower levels and given back to us as player actions at 86, is pretty ridiculous this is applauded as a successful rework. Thematically? Sure. Design wise? This is the lowest bar in jobs we have in engagement.
I mean I use poison to describe any DOT mage even if they have nothing to do with actual poison, if new SMN got dropsy, fracture, slipstream and choke I’d still call it a poison mage

Otherwise I totally agree removing mechanics that used to come with our CLASS and give them back at 86 is just shockingly bad game design
