Apparently DoT timers, buff/debuff timers, etc, are beyond the mental capacity of the FFXIV player.

That’s pretty much the message the devs have been sending. We literally do not have a single example of ‘traditional MMO support’ where you cast a buff or a debuff lol, it’s all instant cast oGCDs with 120-second cool downs that might as well have neither cooldowns nor timers for how entirely automated they are. They could make them literally auto-apply to the enemy at 120s and it wouldn’t change anything about how any job plays.

Apparently alienating an entire subsection of MMO players who enjoy traditional mmo support roles is entirely cool though. Doesn’t affect precious deeps , so the community won’t give a shit. And I mean playstyles like that might make their expert roulette take a whole 5 seconds longer! The gall , to suggest such a thing. And devs don’t give a shit because they can’t be bothered balancing anything outside of essentially automating it
