Kena's lingering static dot - purgable yes or no?

Thanks

No idea, but the healer shouldn't have any issues healing through that DoT, it doesn't last long.

I'm unsure if the dot is purgable. As an experienced healer, I would add that It can be very tricky to heal through. It depends on how many times your party gets hit (standing far away to help dodge the Lightning wall phase helps ALOT). The damage from lingering static still ticks away while the whole party is knocked down by morlag kena's blast. So it can be easy for party members to die while the healer is unable to heal because of the knockdown. One way to counter this is by using HoT's (aka heals over time). If you apply HoT's such as mutagen/vigor etc before the knockdown it helps negate some of the damage that occurs during this time, giving the healer time to get back on their feet and use their big heals. Hope this helps.

Happy adventuring and good luck in VWGT.

Yes, you can remove the DoT with Purge or if using the templar Purify synergy.

Some healers do it. I dont lol.

There's usually other skills I rather use(or have to slot) when doing Molag Kena, so no space for Purge or Purify.

It's really easy to out heal that lingering DoT anyway, if someone happens to get caught. Just keep up Regeneration on everyone during the middle phase, Breath of Life when needed. Make sure entire group is on full health(or close to), with HoTs up, when he does the big knock back.

Guys I just tried it last night with purifying ritual spam and it did not remove the dot at all . I had to resort to spamming wards on people.

I wonder if they use the name "Lingering Static" for two different DoT effects? Starting to wonder that from the comments here.

I have no problems out-healing the damage over time when Molag Kena is in the middle and sending out waves of static. The only problem there is if the static blasts all the way through my shield and knocks me out, since I can't heal when dead .

The problem my groups tend to have is with the Lingering Static from the rotating lightning walls, since some of us are a bit rubbish at standing in the right place to survive them.

I've tried to purge Lingering Static from the lightning walls before, but I don't believe I've ever managed to remove the DoT - whether with my Sorcerer Healer running Efficient Purge or with my Templar Healer running Cleansing Ritual. Every time I die during the lightning wall phase, I see Lingering Static on my "death list". So I'm rather mystified about how people say it's purgable. Unless I've managed to purge it from others but not myself?

Not purgable at all, tested the other night.

It's more of a bug. Esp when she goes to aspect stage 2 I've had it before where it just doesn't go away regardless. Still does barely any damage.

I've found that it's not a problem as long as the healer is alive, never had a problem, it's if he dies that it can cause problems...
