So we all know other gambits outside of blades and traps are obviously weaker for hitter schools in Advanced combat since none are stackable besides those 2. Storm and Myth both has pretty strong conditional hits since their main hanging effects are Blades and Traps but when it comes to Fire their main hanging effect is blatantly worse (just like any other conditional) compared to other 2, making their reliable hit bound to Myth conditional (Jinn) most of the time and throwing their main identity to background (Fire Scion). So I think they should buff DoT's in a way to make them compete with Blades & Traps so and here is my idea:
Giving Fire school a special trait like "Your spells deal X% more damage to targets with a DoT on them" this can be either changed to "Applying more pierce to your spell" rather than just dealing extra damage OR as the number of DoTs placed on enemy gets higher, trait itself gets more effective. This trait can also just be given to DoTs themselves rather than Fire only, since theres 2 more schools that can potentially use DoTs (Myth and Life).
I believe these kind of school-only traits could help non-stackable conditionals (More frequent Fire Scion usage) match with Blades or Traps by dealing damage.
I have also been thinking stuff like this for other schools/hanging effects but does not have something clear on my mind as of now.
I am currently unsure about how this idea (School specific traits) would impact PvP since i am mostly thinking for Raids but would like to know anybodys take on this.
