It's the cumulative total that makes them powerful, which you won't see on an individual tick basis.....
I disagree, did you watch the video? My 3 SMN DoTs combined tick for between 960-1200 unbuffed (miasma, bio, bio2) compared to my ~700 Ruin and Garuda Egi's ~600 Wind Blade. 1200 vs 700 seems powerful. Compare this to a BLM's Fire IV hitting for 5k, no. But my reasoning for this change is less about feeling powerful and more about just being able to see you are actually doing damage, DoTs are basically invisible and it's the main reason they seem weak.
