    SMN DoTs

    I have noticed on many bosses that my dots are not showing on the bosses bar. When I fester, however, I get full damage meaning all my DoTs are applied to the target boss.

    Can something be done to move the priority of my DoTs to the front so I can see them. This game focuses on no third party programs being used so I must rely on FFXIV's built in ability to keep me on tract.

    Thank You.

    That's odd. You're DoTs should usually always be placed at the front automatically, with their timers in green. At least that's how it's always worked for me. Very odd.

    I noticed this started happening to me when I switched over to PS4. I'm unsure if there's any correlation there but yea, about two months ago.

    It is a display issue. Only the first 32 (pretty sure that's correct) will ever show on the debuff bar but up to 64 can actually be on the boss. Even if you only show your own DoTs they still have to be in the first 32 applied.

    It is extremely annoying during S mobs while playing SMN or BRD. But it should only happen on server wide mobs like Hunts/Odin/Behe. In CT/ST your buffs wont always show but should always actually be on the mob.

    Im with him since i play smn as well there is this bug. The debuff dsnt display as they should be and yea put the own buff as the first of the bar. Hes right when you fester damage is full but actually it dosent display all the debuff so you are unsure if Your fester Will deal max damage or not.

    What he said. I've heard 30 show, 60 on boss as well, not sure on exact numbers, but that is the reason.
