Question 1: When 1 of 25 guards resists your 48 DoT.. do you
- A. Keep running ahead of him and retry on all 25 after 1-2 tics when it wears off the other guards?
- B. Let him hit/bash/stun on you as you stay in range of the other 24 guards that will 1-2 round you, so you can hit them with next DoT?
Correct Answer: A
Question 2: How many times out of 10, are you going to land your 48 DoT on 25 of 25 mobs?
Correct Answer:
1-3 out of 10 if you're lucky
Question 3: How will that impact your DPS calculation?
Correct Answer: Worse than just twisting level 2 + level 18.
You just don't use the 48 when swarming unless you plan to tank it - 1 mob ruins that pulse if you plan to use any other DoTs. Hence, the numbers I provided. The DoT nerf applies to PBAE DoTs - can you show otherwise? - and even if not, you'd only be 71dmg/tic if you win 500 out of 500 resist rolls. Good luck!
You're theorycrafts are ignorant and overly optimistic.
When you got video proof (bard, wiz, others, whatever), feel free to post it. I've also done more DPS (DPS you saw others do + 1, to be exact) - but this is the video proof I got.
