Frags can only be used every so often and dark flare has a cast time that can be interrupted. Maybe in a scenario where you're just sitting there letting the opponent cast these at you would you need S&B to reflect them.

Uh huh... So it's fine those have cast time (there are people that will hardcast frags in cyro) but the channel which can be interrupted is a problem?
And you're arguing that people shouldn't be putting points into DoT mitigation? In PvE, sure, but PvP I'd argue people should put points in a mix to both improve strengths and to help fill in weaknesses. You already admitted as somewhat of a dodgeroller so you're already mitigating against the non-DoT builds.
Sure - but then the sorc just recasts another frag, or the bow users casts another snipe, or the wrecking blow user winds up another blow (and a cancelled medium attack). Hardcasting frag sorcs aren't common but IMO neither are perma-casting RD users. TBH, I find the hardcasting frag users, bombard and frost reach more irritating than RD in Cyro right now.Frags can only be used every so often and dark flare has a cast time that can be interrupted.

A sorc casting frags has never been and is never going to be a problem. Not only do I rarely encounter hard casters, but it is beyond easy to avoid. Either dodge the huge pile of frags flying through the air or block it(consumes very little stam). Keep in mind you can do those 2 counters with any build.
So if DoTs are a minority why is this a problem? If you deem it not worth speccing to prevent something that kills you (by the sounds of it, often), it's not RDs fault. If you spec to prevent 90% of source of damage in Cyro, of course that remaining 10% of skills will probably be a source of death because you're mitigating the rest.DoT builds aren't a prevalent thing in Cyrodiil, which is why putting points into DoT mitigation isn't worth doing; however, next patch it may be acceptable to put points into DoT mitigation because of the incoming army of DKs. Anyway, you have 167 points to spend in that tree(assuming you're at cap). If you attempted to even out all mitigation methods while having 27 points into crit resist(10%) and 15 points into increased healing(5%), you'd have all mitigation types(physical/magical/DoT) reduced by 13.4%. Again, next patch it is acceptable to do, but atm it isn't worth being weaker all around because of a minority.

- DoT builds are a minority right now. Actual DoT builds is what I'm referring to. Like DK's DoTs, Jabs, Poison Arrow, Twin Slashes, Flurry, w/e. Also keep in mind that you barely need to switch up anything to fend against those DoTs. Crit resist, physical/magical mitigation, and your base mitigation is enough to render them useless against you; especially if you have vigor up most of the time. But again, you're telling me to become weaker by switching my entire build up for one ability on one class. If you find it balanced that one ability from one class forces you to change everything, then we're done debatingSo if DoTs are a minority why is this a problem?

Thank you for understanding.
