Lightning staff HA

So heavy attacks with a lightning staff aren't direct damage? They are damage over time? While both ice and inferno HA are direct damage?

If true it just doesn't seem fair since splash damage got nerfed they really don't hit very many targets and for time they take less than inferno heavy attacks. So why is it not direct damage?

    Lightning HA consists of the channel (DoT, 2 ticks) and the final tick, which is direct dmg.

    Can't see anything unfair in this tbh.

    Overland difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including One Tamriel, an overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver & Gold as a "you think you do but you don't" - tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game. I'm bored of dungeons, I'm bored of trials; make a personal difficulty slider for overland. It's not that hard.

    fire staff currently applies a dot after the heavy attack hits so it does both too

    ice heavy is probably the weakest in terms of dmg, but it gives you a dmg shield which is nice for survivability

    i have my main house (grand topal hideaway) listed in the housing tours, it has multiple target dummies, scribing altar, and grandmaster stations (in progress being filled out), as well as almost every antiquity furnishing on display to preview them

    feel free to stop by and use the facilities

    As it turns out they are all the same as in they all do some amount of direct damage so you are right there is nothing unfair. I had read that the Lightening staff didn't and I just wanted to know if it was true. Thanks for answering.
