Single Target Dotons

but doton looks pretty

Raiton is 650 potency, Doton is 480 potency. You would be better off using Raiton and there are no instances in that fight where Alex is untargetable and you have the chance to pre cast Doton.

I'm not arguing that Raiton is the better skill for Single Target, my point is that you cannot move while time is stopped and only the Doton DoT actively ticks even in stopped time ^^

Sure, what he's saying though is that if you can use Doton, you can use Raiton and it's better to use Raiton. It's not like you can cast Doton but not Raiton in that instance.

At some point Square needs to just write "Use Raiton instead of this against one target" in Doton's description

My Idea about that is that the Monster/Boss straight up turns to the NIN and one hits them

Using doton in that scenario is a dps loss regardless though so its a moot point if it still ticks in time stop. Even more so if it means losing a raiton during a buff window.

Friends don't let friends cast Doton in single-target fights.

Isn't single target doton pre-pull on opener a good thing

As mentioned by someone else earlier in this thread:

This does not work anymore, hide cancels doton.
