• The Ritual
  • Thaumaturge: Fixed an issue where this Champion ability was increasing the damage of various non-damage over time effects, such as Daedric Curse or Magicka Detonation.

I was always under the impression the game considered velocious curse to be a dot, which was the reason I thought it didn't proc surge heals. Now that it's been confirmed that the game shouldn't be treating curse as a dot could it please be changed to proc surge heals? Please? Or is there another reason curse doesn't proc surge heals?

Blood Magic is a Dark Magic passive and doesn't apply to daedric summoning skills, so there would be no doubling up of heals (like there is with frags). I was content with the explanation that curse was a dot, and dots don't proc surge heals, but now that's out the window I have no explanation to placate my frustration with this mechanic. Anyone shed some light, or provide solidarity?

And while we're at it; can mines proc surge heals too please?

Regards.

Bump.

I made a thread that states this very thing when the notes went up.

Proxy det, Curse, and Mines should proc surge as they are Not DoTs.

We know AoE Do proc Surge as Streak does.

There is absolutely no reason for them not to.

Maybe we chose the wrong time to bring it up. I don't think enough people care or understand right now. I'm gonna link this thread in the sorc feedback thread, maybe you could do the same with your thread. Thanks for the bump anyway

What about mines?

No procc for surge - is thaumaturge still working on them?

@Derra, I tested on pts, curse and detonation both get surge heals if you crit with them. Mines however are still under thaumaturge and wont procc surge.

I care @FriedEggSandwich as recently switched from Entropy to surge so get what you mean.

So with this fix does Curse only get a CP boost from ele expert? (I.e. Magic damage)
