Just wanted to share my thoughts on Miasma II, not sure if a thread like this has been made or not but wanted to share from my point of view.

So Miasma II, back when it was a thing before it got cancelled I didn't use it. I saw absolutely no point in having a close ranged DoT when I need to keep distance, never went on my hot bar. Then they got rid of it and I thought "Good riddance".

Now it came back as an extra DoT for us and I reluctantly experiment with it. Big thing that throws me off: ITS VERY EXPENSIVE.
However, I really tried to think about how it could actually be useful, what situations would I be in that actually have me within range?

Big thing that came to mind are dungeons and mobs. I don't keep that much of a distance very often, and it does help kill things faster. The more I used it the better it kinda started to feel although it is very expensive to use it so often, if you do want to be very careful with your MP management. Often at the very end of mobs when I felt like I overused it my MP was almost gone.

Then I figured other good ways: Boss fights where there are stack mechanics that have you near the boss, or other times when you need to be near the boss. Those seemed like excellent times to throw it out and it did work out pretty well. I found myself using it less in boss fights but thats besides the point.

All in all, the move is not terrible but ideally would be nice if it was a ranged spell. I wish it wasn't so expensive but I guess we do need to pay some price for extra healer dps. Figuring out ways to make the move optimal was kinda fun.

I'm curious what are everyone's thoughts on the move?
