Hi guys,
So, if you read the description in the tool tip for the 5 set bonus it is a little unclear.
(5 items) Scathing Mage
10% chance when causing Critical Damage to increase your Spell Damage by 516 for 6 seconds.
After, testing the set and reading the forums it seems as if the 5 set bonus doesn't proc of DoTs and AOE crits. I was just wondering if it was intended to work like this or is it just a bug?
My first assumption was that Critical Damage is any critical damage. DoTs and AOE do crit so one can assume that it does proc of DoTs and AOE. Now when you think about it if it were to proc of DoTs and aoe it would be powerful but if you consider that you can't crit people when they have their shields up it is kinda balanced imo.
So, ZOS can you clarify to us if the set is working as intended and if it is working as intended I think the description should be clarified too.

Seen some pretty weird stuff with this set, it seems to proc off Jabs which is considered a DoT
Bump for Clarity

There's more set bonuses that do not proc their passive on DoTs and critical hits on AoE spells. For example, some time ago Sorcerer's Surge was "patched" and it didn't heal the player anymore when causing critical hits on AoE (ex: Liquid Lightning), Valkyn doesn't proc its effect on DoTs too.

It can proc on first tick of Radiant Destruction or Puncturing Sweeps.
