Druid DoT Question
Hi all,
My DoTs will not hit for full effect unless the mob is rooted. For example Creeping Crud is supposed to do 21 dmg/tick but when the the mob is not rooted it only does 14 dmg/tick. That's 33% less damage (and is the case for fire based DoTs as well). Has this always been the case? I don't remember that from the original Kunark. Thanks! Eilar 30 Dru |
Its working as intended, I remember the rumor that if mobs were rooted the dots do more damage vs. if they moved [back in classic it didn't say how much a tic they did].
Not sure why it would be a rumor, you'd think you can look at amount moving on health bar, heh. |
Hmmm...I just don't remember DoTs working like that from the old days, but then again there is a bunch I don't remember. Thanks for the info!

You used to be able to kite and do full damage. Bards still can, the punks!

When in the timeline did it go back to full damage regardless? Velious? Luclin? |

You can still kite a mob, just don't dot it for 2/3 damage, nuke it instead. Depending on the camp nuking can significantly speed up your kills over dots also. Look at it this way...
Rot/Dot a mob, he takes 2 minutes to die. He then takes 6.5 minutes to respawn, for a total of 8.5 minutes per kill. Nuke that same mob. He dies in 30 sec. Add the 6.5 minute repop time and you have 7 minutes total per kill. That's 20% more exp and loot. You can probably keep that up on a camp of 3-4 mobs full time and you get a ton more exp. Dotting is only efficient if you root and dot multiple mobs at a time, especially with clickies. Druids nuking stuff to death is highly underrated. |
