DoT Range Question

Kethevin
Kethevin
I'm not sure how to ask this.

Do DoTs affect people once they enter the range, or must you cast them with everyone in range.

For example, if I cast Elemental Barrier, or the Sorcerer Lightning and a few NPCs enter, will they start taking damage? Or, do I need to make sure to recast every time there is an NPC in range?

    You're on the right track, @Kethevin.

    Once an NPC enters the DoT area of effect (AoE) they start taking damage.

    You only need to recast if you want to refresh the duration of the DoT skill itself.

    Just the same, if an enemy NPC or player leaves the area of effect they cease taking damage from it. It only affects enemies within that area during its duration regardless of if they were inside it or not when cast.
