DK dots... just a suggestion

Magdk already has an off balance sub theme. Dizzy Swing set enemies off balance now too. If you're 100% committed to the idea of holding ALL single target DOTs to the same standard can DK get a passive that increases DOT damage against an off balance enemy by 25-33%? DKs are a DOT class, or they were at least, and now that off balance is easily accessible to both mag and stam DK I think this a fair compromise. It also fits already present sub theme within the class while buffing their main theme... DOTs. Please.
I'd settle for just ardent flame skills being buffed. Maybe not all DOTs but at least their class DOTs.

What if you dont use 2h?
I dont want an off balance passive when other classes get shiet like increase WD by 5%
increase max stamina by 10%
increase dot dmg by 10%
etc etc.
Off balance is difficult to access and restrictive

✭✭What if DK flame DoTs got weaker each tick but started off really strong.
And all the DK poison DoTs start off weaker but get really stronger each tick.
Really gives fire DK and poison DK there own behaviour and strategy.

They dont want DOTs as a viable strategy - and therefore it sure as well wouldn't make sense to have the DK be somehow special over the class that has passives to do 10% more dot damage and take 10% more dot damage (Necro).
DoTs are out as viable damage source unless their actions in the next few patch notes indicate otherwise.1 -

✭✭I was just trying to make dragonknights damage over time have some depth and strategy. Magicka has to keep the pressure up to get most damage potential. Alternating searing flame, engulfing flame and whip. Stamina has to apply their damage over time and use their magicka to tank damage long enough to watch the enemy erode.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I'm honestly at a loss. Dots are gonna fall to the wayside in favor of more burst damage. And considering that DKs are basically a dot based class...
I fail to see any positives to this.

Add off balance to stonefist. They added it to several other skillls.

DKs were the DOT class before necro. Necros only have tethers and ground DOTs. Their DOTs operate much differently. It's not even fair to compare the 2 classes. Go make post about Necro. This a DK post.0 -

Copy paste sorc passive. No. Enough homogenization already.0 -

Yup. All we can do is offer feedback and hope.
Stonefist is not idenity. Not on its own atleast. It should work within the DOT theme somehow. Give it off balance so a partial heavy will stun. Remove stagger. Add something like stacking 5% up to 5 times buff to damage with class skills only. This would buff stam dk dots and adds to an increasing continued pressure playstyle.
Give whip a 25% DOT bonus while slotted against off balance enemies and if you stun an off balance enemie it consumes DOTs for more burst at base. Keep the 2 morphs as they are.
