<div></div>To Aranieq<span></span><a target="top" href="../view_profile?user.id=87332"><span></span></a> - For reactives, the resist check it done when the reactive goes off, NOT when it lands on the target as the debuff. Here's what I noticed screwing around with Tash.Tash OFF - Auspex does the normal 1,200 ~ 2,200 (give or take depending on other debuffs) on the mob.Tash ON - Auspex does over 2,500 constantly during the duration of Tash.Soon as tash wears off, back down to normal Auspex (1,200 ~ 2,200) reguardless of when I landed the original Auspex as a debuff. Thus confirming when resist checks are made for reactives, or I have some really odd luck, constantly.My sugestion, get ALL your reactives on (unless you know the mob doesn't cast at all) right before you Tash (or some other huge mental debuff). Once the debuff lands, nuke hard so you have reactives and nukes hitting for double the damage! I also try to time Breakdown to wear off during Tash, I've had it hit for over 3k on termination before, all these numbers are with out volatile magic, I'm sure those are a bit higher than mine. AdiX__Styxx__  to answer you question more simply, yes volatile magic effects everything you got. From procs to DoTs back down to reactives. Even power damage. (as listed above)<div></div>
