Make it increase ALL arcanist dots by 2.5 seconds thus reducing downtime refreshing dots and increasing nuke time on our pitiful ruin spam creating higher sustained damage.

Discuss.
Ruin I: DPS for Arcanist. A Solo nuke. Not for SMN. Not for party play.

Ruin II: Same as Ruin I and has a Blind Debuff that also gets in the way of party play because it increases the Boss's resistance to an actually NEEDED Blind Debuff. Good for Soloing or Making EXP in FATEs not for 4 man or 8 man party play.

Skip these on SMN if you're doing dungeons or Primals. Use Rouse or Spur instead.
