Viper is disappointing compared to any set that adds raw offensive stats (like Hunding's Rage, Spriggan, Briarheart). Trust me, I've used a cheesy Viper + Seventh Legion set up for a very long time.
DoT loose against both templars and nightblades (if they dont have latency issues) and if it becomes "meta" any magicka based char will simply have to slot purge in order to be fine with those.
also dots dont benefit from onslaught/corrosive armor.
dot builds have always been powerfull weither using dots or not, but i dont see them better or worse with u23
You should test poison dots from poison injection and gear like viper.
The result will surprise you.
Btw I don't ask for a nerf
Its not about being able to cleanse its about game play for me. DoT game play is just apply and re-apply its a playstyle of simple attrition. Its not dynamic at all. I really wish they would not go down the route but they are.
well, cleansing ritual's synergy removes everything so anyone playing with a templar + the templar himself will ruin DoTs.
and, iirc, templar u23 tweaks might put them in a good spot tomorow so they might become more common than before.
the question is about being "meta", and again, "meta" things use to be good to awesome in every single situation. Such a downside about DoTs cant fit with this definition.
even if purge costs a lot one morph is cheaper and the other heals when dots are removed, even with proc dots it'll take less GCD to remove them for your target than for you to afflict it.
