Ranged DPS, choose a weakness that would justify a buff

[Kabooa]

The problem with that DNC design would be the spawns...it'd have to pander to the fight, and would be relatively difficult for it to work. Like, some fights it'd be an absolute nightmare to even do that on(I'm staring at you, Final Omega).

Fair enough.

I'm iffy on the idea of charge and release as Flamethrower isn't really an example of Ability design that knocks it out of the park. Flamethrower is mostly ignored outside of Add packs and was mostly tolerated in Stormblood based on your wildfire set ups, and while Stockholm syndrome worked it's magic on me, I'm not sure how many would claim they liked the skill by itself, then and now.
