Root the mob. Voila, you have it back.

Invent a time machine, go back in time 10 years or so, assassinate the person at Verant or Sony that decided to implement this in classic EQ, voila, you have your dot damage back!

sec lemme just ding myself 7 levels for root, while also using the other most resisted spell in the game- fear.

and my pet? is he supposed to stand there and get beat to death while the mob is rooted?

get over it, it happened in live, and was part of classic. this server is emulating classic.

Invent a time machine, go back 10 years or so, ask one of the players back then who somehow figured out to survive despite the 34% less damage on dots when mobs are moving. Voila, you don't need it back!

...or roll a class that never had the benefit of dots. Either way, if its that much of an impact, change classes.

Get your facts straight sir. There was never a dot nerf in live in the classic game. Having actually played(unlike some of the people bouncing on the - this was in live - bandwagon) during live there was never a nerf to dots until late Luclin and that was only to certain spells. If THIS were the case, why would people be snare kiting things as a druid? I played a necromancer on live and played it almost exclusively off of dot kiting, there was no nerf, and I have no idea where this came from.
