As a ps4 player I couldn't think of a way to test this on my own, so hopefully a PC player can answer.
If you cast a dot on your staff bar, then swap to a DW bar for the spell damage buff, does it affect the dot's Spell damage coefficient.
Also, would it be the same for curses like magica detonator, or a sorcs velacious curse?
And what about area of affect dots like liquid lightning?

I read somewhere that curses update at the time of "detonation", but the post was unclear on DOT. Knowing this is quite crucial to my bar sets.

Yes. As soon as you switch to dual wield for example, the damage per tick will raise as long as you stay on this bar.
And weird is, in my tests, daedric curse never determined its damage when it explodes, but when its casted.

Which i used to my advantage and always casted it from my dual wield bar. Maybe it changed, I'm going to test it again.
Also, for example when you have a crystal shard proc on your staff bar, you can swap your bar to dual wield while the projectile flies and it will get the bonus also works with hard casted crystal shard, solar flar etc.

@Dracane Are you sure the damage per tick increases? On console myselft, but I read elsewhere that dots are static from the damage you have when you cast them.
