    Duty Support anyone else notice this?

    Recently I went and did all of the ARR content you can do with the new duty support system and at first I thought that the THM didn't use thunder. This was until I noticed that he occasionally at lower levels say something like l- l- lightning. So I ended up watching him do his casting and even turned on party effects to all only to notice that his thunder spells never showed up as dots. Which I felt was strange cause even Kan-E Sena and the few Scions who are jobs/classes that can apply dots will apply dots and they show up on the monster's health bar.

    So, are his working as intended or do we need to write up a bug report or make a thread about this on the UI section?

    Their abilities don't necessarily all work the same as ours, but it's possible it's not intended. You could make a bug report and see.

    In other news, there is no technical debt from 1.0.
    "We don't have ... a technological issue that was carried over from 1.0, because ARR was meant to kind of discard what we had from 1.0 and rebuild it from the engine."

    It’s not impossible that it is a bug but I don’t think it is. Like they don’t use AOEs is later dungeons.

    I think that the system was designed so that npcs would be good enough to clear content but not as good as a team of people so as to encourage ppl to run with real groups.

    That's exactly how it works and has been marketed as. They have a specific time goal they try to reach, which is longer than the average DF group. It was never intended to replace playing with real players.

    Thunder not being a DoT from the assist AI is nothing out of the ordinary. Most NPC Thunders are just direct damage and the AI skills are not the same skills we have, even if they share an animation and name.

    One thing to remember is that, for example when you have the 'Sorceress' accompany you in trust in SHB/EW. She uses a Thunder Spell that just does raw damage.

    Shtola's use of thunder I don't think is supposed to be like ours. So it makes sense that her thunder isn't a dot. Also the trusts do use Aoe attacks they just don't spam them. Again the lalafell uses all of the different levels of thunder spells. And as I already stated when G'Raha uses Aero III it shows up as a dot, same as when Urianger uses Combust, or Alphinaud uses Boilysis or his version of Eurkrasian Dosis ect they all show up as a dot. I'd understand it if his aoe dot didn't show up as one since G'Raha's Aero III doesn't act as an Aoe dot. But to me it doesn't make sense as why Thunder or his Thunder III don't show up as a dot as those two are single target.
