    Necromancer DoT caster. Hardcast big hitter spells whether it's casting a big hit or a channeled spell that DoT ticks every second. Instant cast spells for double the damage and mana with a Dark Arts mechanic similar to HW DRK Dark Arts or Sage Eukrasia. No Raid buffs. No Utilities. Just pure damage. We need a caster to rival Black Mage.

    Preferably OG Summoner DoT playstyle with a lot of extra stuff.

    Make DoT ticks build gauge over time and have your hardcasts or Dark Arts spells build a separate gauge. Have a capstone ability that makes your big spells cost no MP and have no CD for a limited time on a 1 minute or 2 minute CD.

    Even if it isn't Necromancer I do think the next Caster has to be powerful and needs to focus around Dots to offer a different playstyle and split the casters between support/utility and pure damage.

    This way we have BLM/??? bring the damage and SMN/RDM bring support(raid buffs/Raise slave) and lower damage.

    As it stands we have a class system where

    Tanks are : Main Tank/Offtank

    Healers are : Pure Heal/Shields and Mitigation

    DPS : Weird uneven split between damage and raid buffing
