BLM's AF/UB, Healer/BRD/SAM/BLM DOTs, WAR's surging tempest, and RPR's death's design.
MCH's Bioblaster also kinda falls under this now but it's limited to trash pulls, and BLU also has quite a few options but it's a limited job.
I'm not great at them, but I tend to enjoy Buffs, Debuffs, and DOTs that require the player to actively put an effort to keep maintained, so it's been pretty disappointing to see or hear that they've been getting removed over the years.
To list the ones off the top of my head:
Healers had their DOTs stripped down to just one in ShB. I believe MNK's greased lightning used to be a speed buff to maintain before its rework then too.
SMN and PLD lost their DOTs in EW.
MNK's DOT and buff, and NIN's buff timers were removed with DT.
And of course we just had VPR's ripped out with the recent patch.
I don't doubt there are folks who really dislike them, and I can't deny there weren't any that I was all right with their removal, but I feel they've gone overboard with it. Am I the only one who thinks this?
