<DIV>THE ONLY thing I can see in the patch notes that reflects DoT spells is this...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> Resistances against Cold, Heat, Poison, Disease, Magic, Divine, and Mental attacks will now mitigate the per-tick damage of DoT spells. It may be time to shop for resist gear.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now I might think, hey my DoTs are being reduced in damage due to mobs resistance.. Sounds logical.. BUT the damage that I am taking from DoT spells is the same as before patch.. ( or close enough that I didnt notice a big difference) Ive been soloing the echos in EF by the undertow spawn.. These were my test subjects for NPC dots...cause they DoT me ALOT!!! SO Im dismissing this change as the cause...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now the 1st thing I did when I noticed my dots going from high 70s low 80s pre-patch to mid 40s post-patch, was ask in the crafter chan ( yes I know crafter chan but Im known there and alot of us are also mid to high lvl advents) and EVERYONE said their DoT damage was cut in 1/2.. Inquis, Chanters, warlock, SKs everyone who has a dot said the same thing.. Next I look at the spell text itself.. Low and behold the text says the damage it was doing.. Mid 40s? Im a lvl 40 defiler.. A DoT doing 40 points a tick is not effective.. 70 a tick wasnt bad ( personally I think its still low at 70) but hey im not a dev to set damage ratio.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>IF this is an actual change, why wasnt it in the patch notes...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>IF its a bug like im guessing... ITs another reason why SoE needs to pull their heads out of the sand and finally realise what the majority of the player base already knows... ONE WEEK is not long enough to test these big patches... Its quite clear that your internal testing is LITTLE to NONE.. Allow us to /Character_Copy to the test server.. Both my crafters and advent were effected by this "patch" and these bugs could have been caught within the 1st few hours of someone testing.. But im getting off topic.. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>IS this a bug or a Fix? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I know the mobs run in fear at the prospect of a defiler Doting him.. I really dont understand why this ws done IF IT was a real change..</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>
