Is it time to remove dots from the game?

[Ultimatecalibur]

For some jobs I don't really see how a DoT adds much of anything except "here's another button to push because reasons". With how GNB is offensively, I don't see why it needs 1, let alone 2, but it does. Having 1 though isn't a bad thing, but as much I love GNB, DoTs seem more or less tacked on than for reasons unknown. They don't really feel ingrained in the "job fantasy". They are just...there.

Bow Shock is mostly fine in my opinion with it being an ogcd. On the other hand, Sonic Break is weird with it being a weaponskill with a 60s cooldown.

it's literally in there by the devs of the jobs to point newer players in the way of a correct rotation.

just saying that there is "no intended rotation" for jobs on the forums does not change that there is one that is factored in with initial implementation for jobs and changes.

In some jobs they are mostly superfluous. Both Gunbreaker's Sonic Break and Blackmage's Thunder III could be dropped from the rotation and how both jobs' play would be relatively unchanged.
