    But that's also just meaningless busywork then. Do they get side-benefits from doctors so inducing extra RSI from people having to tab-target ED is relevant to them?

    If the idea is to deal more damage via stacked DoTs, just have two AoE DoTs. That is, don't go for a needlessly complicated solution that requires 0 extra brain to execute and just needs more hand motions, we're not getting paid per person with Carpal Tunnel. If you want more AoE DoT, just add AoE DoT. Don't make things more complicated than they need to be.

    So here's my solution:

    * Keep ED as is.
    * Change EDys to deal the exact same per-tick damage as ED.

    Done. Simple solutions to trivial issues.

    I mean, if the goal is to reduce the nuance, well sure that would work. Not that I would agree to have though. E.Dyskrasia is already a dead button on ST cases and I'd rather not reinforce more of those. I would love to have more cases where I'm incentivized to press my AoE (read: not Glaroilficosis) button in supposedly strictly ST situations.

    Reintroducing the media tour build wouldn't only solve OP's frustration over accidentally overwriting DoT, it will also open up more opportunities to use E.Dyskrasia both dungeon and raid situations.
