CP Thaumaturge does not affect
CP Master-At-Arms affects
Set Valkyn Skoria does not proc
Sets Nerieneth and Scathing Mage procs

If you look at other DoT abilities theres damage from coming in contact with the ability and then DoT damage afterwords. This ability doesnt have that first initial damage, so im GUESSING the coding is treating it as direct damage.

I completely agree the skill should be considered a DoT ability and I'm hoping it's a coding issue and they fix it.

I could be totally wrong though. I'm just trying to understand there stupidity.

A lot of skills have a dual CP component. Light/heavy attacks and Direct Damage, for example can affect the same attack. Some attacks while being considered one thing, might not proc something it's supposed to theoretically proc, etc. But hey, they are more focused on ruining Viper (in PvE scenarios) and dicking with the monster helms, and nerfing pen (basically everything end-gamers are using to negate their effort at being stronger, meaning it's getting pointless to even level anymore.
