Why does Flurry not count as Direct Damage?

makreth✭✭✭✭✭It's channeling. Then again jesus beam is also a channeling ability yet the damage combat text is white (direct damage). Isn't that awesome??7

Jesus beam is white damage? Soul assault is the same kind of channel and is orange damage (DoT)....1 -
makreth✭✭✭✭✭Yes, i suspect its considered both dot and direct dmg ( like sweep/jabs) but I still haven't tested that or...just maybe something they missed and don't really care.Edited by makreth on May 28, 2017 7:53PM0

Soul assault is considered both, As it can proc skoria and sets that requires dot damage but it takes stamina away with every tick of dmg as it's blockedPlaying on PS4 NA server and current characters are CP 750

Read what you said and think about.
BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!

Flurry is considered a DoT, Soul Assault is a DoT, both use animations that suggest they should be able to be blocked.
Bleeding is indirect damage though.Edited by Avran_Sylt on May 28, 2017 8:47PM0 -

bleeding is a different matter, it bypasses shields and resistances... It doesn't make sense for a phyiscal shield to block a magical bolt but in this game it does.0 -

Well, the magical bolt is still a projectile, and also dumb-fire to boot. so as soon as it hits something it'll splash/explode whatever.0
