Shamirah,How am I clueless when Im clearly stating a fact. It would take multiple casts of Shadow Flare to equal 1 or 2 AoE's from other classes. Tell me where the logic is in that if were talking about "balance". It takes me 13 seconds for all my dots, not including shadow flare to finally start ticking. 13 seconds. Thats 13 seconds other dps classes can dish out lots of dmg. I feel with how "slow" our class is right now, we wont ever be cometitive in dmg. I know were a dot class but it takes us too long right now to start doing dmg. We need our GCD's on our dots lower, or cast time to be instant so that our dots can start rolling. If we were given the ability to throw our dots quicker it would be great, but it currently takes way too long to get our abilities up.
