Adding a Magic Dot Spec Class

[Raikai]

If it had 2 dots, it is literally impossible to reach the debuff cap even if every DPS job in an alliance raid was the new DoT job. If it had 3 debuffs, you still wouldn't hit the cap unless 12 of your 15 DPS are the new job. The only places the cap matters is world content and exploratory content, and designing around that is a worthless endeavor since both have far more than 60 people wailing on them (doubly so since exploratory content keeps giving even more debuffs to use on top of class kits). This hasn't been a problem since Heavensward and that was when everyone had multiple dots/debuffs and SMN was running around with a mindboggling 7. TOP never had this problem, it was your debuff/buff cap that was hitting capacity, not Omega's.

Additionally as others have said there are ways to do debuffs that don't involve applying additional effects onto a target, such as old Shadowflare or a singular debuff that changes based on your job abilities.

Quick edit: I have also been raving about a curse-based Puppetmaster concept where the puppet is your weapon for years so I am 100% behind the idea.

Not trying to self promote here, but last year I drew this concept (again, inspired by Lulu from FFX):



My line of thought:
- Mystic (instead of Onmyoji) because it would be able to umbrella more 'fantasies' outside of the Far Eastern origin;
- The weapon is an 'idol', which can be some ominous figurine, a symbol or just a doll;
- Artifact sets usually follow a similar silhouette, and MYS would favor Far Eastern 'mage' attires with traditional ceremonial robes - We already have many of those, so the job wouldn't feel lacking of mix and match options like Dancers do;
- Like with black mages and the pointy hats with hidden eye, they have a 'key piece' which is the mask, inspired by eastern mysticism. Key colors are Purple and Black+Gold;
- Job icon most likely represented by the far eastern mask;
