I still absolutely hate DoTs and will NEVER understand the love affair some people have with them. I'd rather basically anything else, even a 1-2-3 rotation over DoTs. But apparently, THAT'S unacceptable for some reason. So Aero 3 it is, eff it.
Okay, so here's something I genuinely do not understand that I hope someone can explain to me.

I am all about wanting a more varied, yet still modest, selection of offensive spells on healers. I also feel that there was no reason to axe Aero 3 with no compensation, and that the loss of Aero 3 does feel like there is something of a hole in White Mage gameplay; however, why do we collectively continue to talk about returning Aero 3 as if that's the only additional attack spell that could ever possibly fill that gap in White Mage's gameplay? Like, something I would've liked to have seen naturally happen with White Mage and Astrologian, had I not known about the anti-DPS crusade Shadowbringers would've reaped, would've been to see DoTs replaced with something that has a little more personality--something unique for each other healer.

I mean I still don't mind White Mage having 1 DoT to foil against Black Mage's thunder, but I don't think Aero 3 needs to be a 24 second DoT, or even a DoT at all. We can always talk about something else to fill that space instead of just returning Aero 3 as it was.
