Lotus fan or teleport strike?

For a magicka NB, which one do you take? I've heard that the burst damage goes away with the lotus fan morph. Is that true?

    Before the IC patch is was not worth morphing into Lotus Fan as the DOT damage did not apply, but now it is certainly worth using Lotus Fan over Teleport Strike IMO.

    Lotus Fan for Magicka

    Teleport Strike for Stamina

    I believe thats how I am using it.

    Teleport Strike is the base skill. There was a time in the past that morphing from Teleport Strike to Lotus Fan resulted in much smaller initial damage plus a DoT component, and it was popular for Magicka builds to *not* morph it to Lotus Fan. At this point in time, it does the same initial damage as Teleport Strike but also adds a DoT so it's worth getting.

    Yes you are correct sorry ~

    So I use Ambush on my Stamina NB.

    Does anyone know if the DoT damage from lotus fan affects the target as well as his enemy allies?

    In a 1v1 situation, I'm not sure lotus fan would be superior to teleport strike, if the extra dot damage doesn't affect the single target. The 70% decrease in movement speed at rank 4 may not be superior to the 1 second immobilization that people seem to be spamming.

    Yes the dot is applied to the target. Which makes this skill great to chase fleeing nbs.
    Additionally you'll still be immobalized for a short moment when someone uses lotus fan on you due to how charge skills work.

    Personally when choosing I didn't even take the dot into consideration the extra damage is nice but what was more important was if I needed the imobilise from teleport strike or the snare from lotus for my build
