The tooltip for 5 piece says, "When you deal damage with a Weapon ability, you have a 10% chance to deal an additional 8400 Flame Damage. This effect can occur once every 2 seconds."

Does that mean every tick of a dot that comes from a weapon ability (such a poison arrow or destructive touch) will have a chance to proc this set?

    A Weapon skill only, like that from the 1hd/shield and dual wield trees. Not from any affects the ability may place.

    So only the initial hits of a dot ability would have a chance to proc it?

    No it procs off all weapon dots. In hail, rend, rending slashes and rapids and poison injection.

    Strange considering so many Armor sets specifically state Damage over time.

    If you are correct and this is working, the definition of everything would have to be redone by Zenimax. Thou i honestly wouldn't be surprised at that disappointment.

    I'll let you know that it works gloriously for my dunmer stam DK (that I made right before the CP switcheroo where Fire and Magicka got combined in Elemental Expert and physical damage/poison/disease got put into Mighty but am living with this odd choice) who is using 5/5 Way of Fire, 5/5 Shadow of the Red Mountain and 2/2 Skoria at the moment. Much, much better DPS than the previous combinations I was using. Note that dunmer get a bonus for fire damage so it makes a bit more sense for a stam build with that passive.

    It's always been like this with this set. Unlike others this is weapon attacks. Not any attack or dot or melee attack. All weapon dots are still weapon attacks. Only a 2s cool down too. Use hail and injection and you'll get the proc near enough constantly.

    This. It's very strong when you pair it with endless hail, poison injection, rending slashes and rapid strikes. You can proc it on cooldown. :)

    I also run this since last week on my stam DK and my dps increased by a lot. Totally worth it.

    The important word here is ''When you deal damage with a Weapon ability...'' Other sets that only proc from initial damage are worded something like ''When you use a (heal, or shield or wathever) ability...''
    And then, they specify ''weapon ability'' to indicate it won't proc from class abilities like venomous claw or FG abilities like Rearming trap. IMO, the tooltip is well written.
