Default Questions About Damage Over Time Spells

I have read on several different forums and at different times in the EQ lifespan that to get "Full Effect" from dots that the mob has to be stationary or feared. If those conditions are not met there is a % shaved off the dot.

However on this server as a Necro and Shaman I have had multitudes of DoTs on mobs with some of them chasing me, some of them feared by me, some of them standing and meleeing with me and some rooted by me. I have never seen any difference in the numbers scrolling by for each tic. The damage numbers seen are the same, the mobs are finished in about the same time.

So what gives with this? Is this an EQ myth? If I use a parser doesnt it use the scrolling numbers to parse, so if they dont change how can you tell if there is a difference between "full" and "nonfull" dots?
