    Playing as Samurai unable to switch classes when duty finder queue pops

    I main as a Dragoon but have been leveling Samurai. Several times now I have queued into a dungeon or roulette as a Dragoon and then proceeded to wait out the time leveling a Samurai by doing fates. When the queue pops I need to switch classes back to Dragoon to accept the queue. This is only possible when you are not in combat, however I believe DoTs keep you in combat even if you are out of range and the enemy is no longer on your enemy list (at least that has been my experience and the purpose of this post). Samurai has what I believe is the longest DoT in the game at 60s, while the accept timer on the Duty finder is I believe only 45s. This means that if I put on my Higanbana DoT and then the queue pops it is very difficult to change classes in time.

    Either extend the accept timer (easier, but probably less desirable since 45s is enough for most cases), or slightly change the way changing classes interacts with DoTs.

    Not sure if correct place to put this.

    I noticed this too so I just stopped using the dot. It's not really that much of a dps loss (to me) and I don't have to worry about any "still in combat" issues.
