Please stop removing Damage Over Time effects from every job, add more complexity

[Shurrikhan]

Hey, I'm trying to come up with something that gives a reason for DoTs to still exist, because at this rate I won't be surprised if SE removes them from all jobs (other than BLU) permanently. Btw, said detonate button would likely be an oGCD with a hefty timer to avoid spam of it.

Ahh, gotcha. Yeah, that could be pretty cool then, akin to a damage-inclusive mobility skill, with some decision-making between leveraging situational and basic value. So long as it isn't able to be spammed (as per its being on a decent CD), it'd typically be saved for getting more DoT ticks in per raid buff cycle, but, you could also use it to avoid nullification on jumps. Nice.

I just, again, feel like the latter (saving one's DoTs against arbitrary encounter constraints above and beyond others jobs') shouldn't have been made an issue from the start. There's no need for boss jumps / transitions to nullify existing DoTs; they didn't before, and shouldn't now.
