Can we get a ZoS stance on spammables?

I would like to know how ZoS wants spammables to fit into a rotation/priority system.

I currently play mag dps and will likely be switching to Stam because I really like having a spammable in my rotation.

Currently pts has mag spending a ton, if not all, of their time dedicated to refreshing DoTs. Maybe some people like this but I'm not a fan.

Is this intended and the goal moving forward? This patch has mage guild rune, entropy, soul trap, and fighter guild trap (replacing channeled Accel) added to the rotation. On top of Unstable wall and class ST DoTs, this leaves barely any room/time for a spammable.

    ZOS is aware of spammable abilities and their place in common usage, hence their allocation of certain skills to the spammable archetype (which they have acknowledged). As far as actual use of them goes, I think they're waiting to see how they fit in once the standardization of abilities is more or less finished before they work on tuning spammable balance to be used a certain way. As it stands now, I would say it mostly just depends on your build and how you play it, rather than how ZOS intends you to play it. It may also be worth mentioning that ZOS is very aware and by all accounts in favor of attack weaving, which may be what they prefer to have players use to sneak in extra dps rather than using a spammable ability while your buffs and dots are up. I can't say that for sure but it's something worth considering.

    No you can't because ZOS is incapable of taking a hard stance on anything unless it's shields and then they just revert the changes like nothing ever happened (i heard it was because they couldn't figure out how to get the channel to actually only be 1s)
