Proxy Det/CP Questions

I've heard that Proxy Det is considered a DoT for some reason. Can anyone confirm.

Is Proxy Det buffed from only Thaumaturge CP? Or is it buffed by Thaumaturge and Elemental Expert?

In the same way, when defending against it. Is damage only reduced by Thick Skinned, or by both Elemental Defender and Thick Skinned?

    I have several. Mag and Stam NB, Stam Sorc, Stam DK.

    I am on PS4, and the patch hits tomorrow. I've heard/seen that proxy det is everywhere. Just figuring out the best way to use it, and also defend against it.

    Does the tooltip not say magic damage anymore?

    Yes it does, but it is treated as a DoT all the way

    Ok, going to revive this one.

    Has anyone tested this.

    Does Elemental Expert and Thaumaturge buff Proxy Det? Or just Thaumaturge?

    In the same way does Thick Skinned and Elemental Defender reduce the damage? Or just Thick Skinned?

    Prox Det TT with NO CP in Blue Tree: 9122

    Testing damage vs Trolls in the Rift (my Gold zone): Non-Crit - 8742 Crit - 15482

    Prox Det TT with 100 points only into Ele Expert: 12167
    Non-Crit - 11666 Crit - 20649
    Prox Det TT with 100 points only into Thaumaturge: 12167
    Non-Crit - 11666 Crit - 20649

    Prox Det TT with 83 points into both Thaum/Ele Expert: 14299

    Non-Crit - 13711 Crit - 24268

    Prox Det TT with my normal CP allocation 100 Ele Expert 13 Thaumaturge - 12844

    Non-Crit - 12315 Crit - 21798

    Prox Det TT with 100 Ele Expert 67 Thaum: 14302
    Non - Crit - 13713 Crit - 24272
    Prox Det TT with 100 Thaum 67 Ele Expert: 14302
    Non - Crit - 13713 Crit - 24272


    My normal CP allocation: 22 Elfborn 31 Spell Erosion 1 Staff Expert 100 Ele Expert 13 Thaum... TT for Prox: 13022

    Testing damage vs. Trolls in the Rift (my Gold zone): Non-Crit - 13004 Crit - 24187

    A lot of the testing is skewed for the simple fact that CP allocation and amount of CP adds max magicka increasing TT values. Use this data as you will. @Asayre could give you more accurate data me thinks.

    There are other allocations I could have added but 3k per respect gets costly. :)

    That seems odd you get the same numbers for swapping thurmaturge and elem expert around. I'm guessing a buff only applies with points in both trees. As long as there's points in both you get the same damage regardless of how many seems odd tho

    I found it odd as well, but alas those were my findings while doing the testing.

    Yes Proxy Det is considered a DoT for the purpose of Thaumathurge. Proxy Det's damage is increased by both Elemental Expert and Thaumathurge. Swapping Elemental Expert and Thaumathurge will give you the same Prox Det damage as the damage increase is just the sum of Elemental Expert and Thaumathurge.

    Similarly, Prox Det damage is reduced by both Elemental Defender and Thick Skinned.

    That makes sense for the same amount of damage.
