Haha, fair enough. xD

I will say though, given how insanely averse they are to using debuff slots, it seems unlikely that anybody gets >1 DoT. They even removed Viper's single debuff ostensibly for reasons of using a debuff slot and since now everyone would be playing Viper for a few weeks, they didn't want those 15 debuff slots used in alliance raids. Crazy given how many classes have a single debuff or DoT, but that's what happened so I dunno.

Of course, gameplay-wise, better DoT gameplay can be created even with a single DoT. But I also don't see a company such as SQEX being the ones to willingly copy working design from other games, they seem woefully averse to success if it means accepting their current design is inferior to what a competitor is doing.

A good simple change would maybe be to do:

* Bio now lasts a random 15s-60s.
* Dealing damage with a GCD or healing health with a GCD bleeds 1 tick (3s) off all current Bios by that Scholar, dealing the damage instantly.
