Hi all,
I'd love if some experienced players could clarify something for me. I’ve read here on the forum that the DoT damage is scaled from the bar one is currently on.
Let’s assume I’m playing “dead” PVE MDK with my skills arranged as follows:
- Lightning staff with fire enchant: buffs and AOE (Eruption, FoO, Blockade of Storms, Star Ult)
- Inferno staff with shock enchant: mostly ST (Lash, Embers, Engulfing Flames, Ele drain, Star Ult)
I’m curious if anybody knows from practice whether I’ll loose DoT ticks damage once AoE is dropped and I switch to ST bar (and vice versa – this time for ST ticks).
I’ve tested a few skills using Combat Metrics and the AoE DoT ticks decrease in magnitude after the bar swap to Inferno.
Is the overall damage loss substantial or insignificant?
