The damage over time effects from abilities such as Searing Strike, Twin Slashes, or Destructive Touch can now be applied to targets that fully or partially absorb the damage from a damage shield, or targets that are blocking.

Does this include poison injection?
Altmer Sorceror, magicka
Bosmer Nightblade, stamina.
Imperial Templar, stamina
Redguard Warden, stamina

    I need to test that, but I think they are crittable (surge work against them) but have a maxed critical resistance, so no bonus damage on crit.

    SO does the dot actually apply to their health or their shield?

    It applies to the shield and eats away at that, not directly at health. It's like, you hit them so hard with your sword that the magicka starts bleeding out of their spell. Or something. I like it.

    All DOTs and it doesn't applied to the shield but to the target the DOT bypasses the shield and blocking.

    I tested it out with some players on PTS with shields and so far use a DOT they start taking damage with shield up.

    No they don't. You have no idea what you're talking about.

    Sorc shields are pretty much useless as they are. They're too weak right now to stand up to most stamina builds, and the DoTs only make it worse.

    Yeah, let´s buff the shields.

    Really? Other classes don´t have a shield and you guys are crying cause your 35k Shields aren´t big enough?
    I wish I had a sorc, must be the perfect class when that´s your problem...

    does anyone know for sure, if placing CP into thaumaturge and Elemental expert increases the damage of entropy?

    If it says damage over time it is effected by them be one for the other or both. Well unless it is poison DoT then it is effected by the new mighty CP and thaumaturge.
