Can we please fix the ongoing DoTs issue, please

[Noxifer]

Are we sure this is a universal bug that everyone deals with?

Sadly, it's not a bug at all. It's... part of the coding.

Really? Never knew that, I just assumed it was a server thing, like when DoTs skip on their count, I've seen that happen much more then them dropping off. Admittedly handling DoTs as a BRD is a breeze with Iron Jaws and given how much use that skill has its likely the reason I never really noticed. Now that this has been pointed out its going to stick out like a sore thumb and bother me when it happens lol.

This option also turn off Bosse's Buffs so you cant see his stances Anymore or reflect etc.
Otherwise it would be helpful but how it is now...no way.

I have it turned off and still mob buffs.

Yeah my fault. Its not the bosses buffs you dont see. Its the debuffs caused by enemys you dont see anymore. And thats sometimes a huge disadvantage. (Like turn 9 the thunder)

Like Vulna up, dots, doom, etc.

This doesn't happen either. You still see those debuffs.

The only downside is you don't see something like trick attack and sometimes your buffs will get overlapped by something else and you won't be sure what's going on (eye and dancing edge, delirium and dragon kick).

Couldn't you just turn off the rest of the teams DoTs? I did this for awhile and everything worked out fine.

You can, but then vital information like Virus/Antibody status, Trick Attack, Slashing Resistance-down, INT-down etc. disappear because that display toggle doesn't have any contingencies.
If you play a class that has a debuff another class can overwrite (see: WAR and NIN, regarding slashing resistance) or play a healer it makes it much harder to do your job properly.

I don't because then I'd just lose dps for a stubborn ninja :/

Just as an FYI, Aeolian Edge costs more TP and only does more damage if it's sweetspotted. A lot of NINs, myself included, kinda default to Dancing Edge as a "safe" attack unless we're certain the debuff is still fresh + we're certain we can get that sweetspot, because otherwise it's just spending more TP for potentially less damage.

Try not to think of it as the NIN intentionally trolling the WAR, in other words.

Yes, this is a issue that I want them to fix aswell. I have been playing as an Summoner the past few months and I noticed that in 24 man or more (Hunts), my dots go *POOF*. I can see that the boss got damaged and my dots are on him, but I can not see the duration, which makes me recast the dots way too early or to late, which decreases my damage output.

It also makes me do less dps then normal which means my fellow partymembers need to do the missing dps, that I would normaly have done. I hope they fix this with 4.0.

I would just like to drop this in here since we are talking about disappearing DoTs
