A similar discussion was posted back in 2014,but as it seems the swallow soul skill and its other morph of course has to be a dot indeed.I was in maelstrom arena redistributing co into thaumaturge ,then i noticed my swallow soul 's tooltip damage was increased,and significantly too.But tooltip damage can be bugged too often,but i even tested this with 0 points into thaumaturhe and with 40 points just for measure,and it hit much harder.Has anyone ever noticed this?
