Was dot dmg doing less on moving targets classic?

bubur · #1 10-23-2019, 06:10 PM

Before they removed dot dmg reporting on green, I saw moving targets being hit for less than full dmg. You have to root or fear to get full dmg. B4 I make a bug thread I need to ask:

Is that classic?

Sizar · #2 10-23-2019, 06:13 PM

I thought I recalled it as not being classic, meaning that dots did full damage. That being said I only played a necro up to like level 25 in 1999 and I very well could be wrong.

Oh hey I'm the one that sent you a tell asking about this ingame.

DoT Changes:
If the monster is in melee with you, there is no change to how a DoT spell works.
If the monster is running away from you (fear, wounded, etc.), there is no change to how a DoT spell works.
If the monster is moving when the damage from the DoT is applied (happens every few seconds), it will take 66% of the damage that it would have taken.
DoT spells have all had their duration slightly increased. If the monster moves for 18 seconds during a fight, it will take as much damage from the DoT as it would before the patch. If the monster moves for less then 18 seconds during a fight, your DoT will do more damage then it would have done before the patch. If the monster moves more then 18 seconds during the fight, it will take less damage then it would have before the patch.

I already reported it, and it's already been fixed.

So, if I understand correctly, the only time dot damage is less than full, is when applied to a moving target?

If target is stationary before spell lands, it can run the entire duration of the spell and each tick will be for full 100% damage?

This man is correct. Before I made the thread I looked for some mobs to test it on.

Logs gave me an even 44 seconds for killing same mob twice while rooted and while snared.

[Wed Oct 23 18:27:21 2019] You receive 1 gold, 16 silver and 8 copper as your split.

two mobs:
1. rooted, 44 seconds of drifting death after 160 dmg dd
2. snared, 44 seconds of drifting death after 182 dmg dd

Can do another one without the dd's I guess but I'm satisfied with 1 trial tbh. It would be 66% drifting death dmg on the snare kill if it wasn't working as intended, so that 22 dmg shouldn't matter.

Not 100% sure what you guys are saying. At release DoT damage was full regardless. They then nerfed it to reduced damage on targets that are chasing (dmg remained full on feared/fleeing targets).

Nice. I tried to search for it but didn't think to look in Resolved and the word DoT was too short for the built in search option.
