Quick question on Valkyn Skoria's set

Hey everyone

Will Velocious curse proc Valkyn Skoria's set?

For the set it says that any damage over time damage will have a 6% chance to call a meteor...
So is Velocious curse considered as damage over time damage?

And also what about Lightning Flood, it is surely damage over time spell, right?

    Thx

    Then is there any point in using Valkyn Skoria Set for mag sorcerer?

    I am exchanging the last two bonuses from Seducer's set for Valkyn Skoria, do u think it's worth it?

    IMO if I find enough damage over time spells it should be worth it

    I am speaking in regards with PVE

    Sorc abilities that proc Skoria: Suppression Field, Storm Atronach (their single target attack is technically a DoT), and Lightning Splash. If you run a Destruction Staff you have more Damage over Time abilities added in. All really depends on your build.

    Yes I do run a destruction staff, does it have any DOT abilities?

    And btw is it better to use the Skoria's set for templar, cuz as far as I am concerned Bitting Jabs is damage over time spell, or not?

    thx)

    Destructive Touch and Elemental Ring both inflict Damage over Time. And yes Templars have good abilities that go well with just about any offensive build that are Damage over Time, namely Puncturing Sweeps/Biting Jabs and Radiant Destruction, not to mention Sun Fire. Blazing Spear, and Ritual of Retribution. Nova counts too.

    I am considering to put on the head & shoulders, but have doubts that I have enough damage over time spells to proc the meteor, cuz lightning flood is not enough

    Yeah my bad Lightning Form is DoT, I was just unsure at first. Streak and Curse are not DoT though so if they proc Skoria they shouldn't. If they are DoT I'd like to know why,

    If your doing this for pve, you'll be using both fire wall of elements and lightning flood.

    But i believe there will be a better set for a dps sorc in the one tamriel update, the one that proc's meteor showers.

    Because zos logic that's why.
    Damage with a delay, is technically a dot, just the first few ticks are all 0, trouble is this meant that while curse falls into that category and used to get buffed by Thaumaturge it was a bit OP so i think they changed it. As for streak who knows, same as dark flare proccing it on templar lol

    I want to say delayed skills may still proc it. I run a magDK with skoria and I'm thinking I've had it proc from deep breath which isn't a DOT per se, just a delayed skill. Then again, I've normally got 3-5 DOTs on a target at any given time, so perhaps I'm full of it as well :/

    The impression I have is that DOTs don't necessarily stack to proc Skoria. Many DOTs tick every 2 seconds. I believe that, if threir timing happens to coincide, this only equates to one proc chance for Skoria. So stacking DOTs doesn't necessarily get you a better chance. The best abilities are ones that have a faster tick, for example Flurry and Arrow Barrage.

    I always felt like it procc'd more on my stam dk than on my magdk, who knows

    Pretty sure you're mistaken. On my Mag Temp I run Blockade of Elements, Circle of Retribution, Puncturing Sweeps, Reflective Light, Blazing Spear, Radiant Oppression and Devouring Swarm and between all of them Skoria procs again and again as soon as the cooldown allows it, so just about every five seconds. With only a 6% chance I doubt that would be the case if they didn't stack.

    I would never use Skoria on a Mag Sorc since main damage ability for me is force pulse. Works far better on for example a Mag Temp or Mag DK. Would probably be a DPS loss for you :) Nerien'eth would be better, and Molag Kena best. Haven't tried new sets in One Tamriel.

    It is epic.
