They had been removing DoTs though, eve from jobs that are built on them as Flaming Arrow and Miasma II can attest.

With that said. I do think that some jobs need DoTs in other to have a complex rotation, such as SAM, PLD, BLM and DRG. I'd also argue that Healers and BRD should have a way to have AoE DoTs (including the aforementioned skills) but I do think that they a token one is unnecessary since WAR, DRK (Fracture and Scourge were removed), DNC, RDM (both have no DoT), were doing fine without them.

The tl'dr:

  • I think certain jobs would use more DoT options, but they already have DoTs to start with to this day
  • But I also think jobs moving forward should not have a DoT unless there is an actual point besides just to have it (as were in the case of Tanks not named Paladin)
