With all this DRK feedback, can we get Scourge back please?

I've had a macro for Salted Earth for the longest time, but a month or so back I tried using it vanilla and haven't used the macro since (I use mouse though, so unfamiliar with how much of a pain it is to put down ground aoes with a controller.)

With the macro on I found myself spamming the button and it clipping my GCD, sometimes not even registering that I used it. On top of that there are scenarios where there are 2 monsters with big hitboxes that, were you to use it on one it won't hit the other, same thing goes for giant pulls, I'd tab through all of the mobs for a straight 2 seconds until I found one that's perfectly in the middle of all the chaos. Or you want to put SE down before you reach the mobs, etc etc. to name a couple of issues that come with it.

Macro for Salted Earth generally works in the 'early middle' to 'middle' of a GCD, because it needs to wait for the attack animation of the GCD to finish. Around the middle, it shouldn't clip the next GCD unless you have too much SkS.

If anything salted earth could be changed to scourge and if you dark arts it, it applies a salted earth bubble on the target along with the dot and have it keep salted earths cooldown timing. This would require scourge to be a gcd though because we don't need anymore doubleweave ogcds, noty. This would actually help with weaving to eliminate the need to place a bubble at all and remove a ogcd in the process.

Rub some salt into their wounds, if you get what I mean...

HW reduced the number of DoTs in the game, intentionally (probably due to always hitting the dot cap)

Scourge isn't coming back in it's previous form.
