Title, is Haunting Curse considered a DoT, like will it benefit from Thaumaturge?

    Nope, its direct damage. It will benefit from Master-At-Arms

    You sure about it? Always thought that skills with delayed damage count as DoTs in ESO. So for example Haunting Curse or Magicka Detonation

    Both are direct damage. They don't do damage over time.. they do damage after a delay.

    It's weird actually. I'm not sure in regards to cp buffing but for example Swarm Mother set works on direct attacks and doesn't work on DoTs. It works on Magicka Detonation and it doesn't work on Curse. Take from that what you will.

    It's not a DoT... it doesn't deal damage over time in any way, shape or form. It deals damage after a period of time. The two things are completely different....

    The problem is that things aren't always as it seems. Twisted path scaled off master at arms and proc'd scathing mage for the longest time.

    That's Zenimax we're talking about here...you know, the company who originally had spells scale off weapon damage and staves' light/heavy attacks off stamina. Logic does not work like that here.

    According to Swarm Mother monster set it's a DoT. According to CP, I have no idea, haven't tested.

    No, swarm mother asks what is blockable and not what is a direct damage attack.

    Hmmm. Isn't destro ulti unblockable? You can pull that with Swarm. You cannot pull on any DoT I tested though, such as Liquid Lightning/Wall of Elements/etc. You can pull on the initial hit of templar's spear but not on the subsequent ticks too iirc.

    Ok.. So you think I dont know that?

    It's already known that thaumaturge doesn't buff Curse. Because it isn't a DoT. It is indeed buffed by Master At Arms, meaning it is direct damage.

    Dont debate me about it being a DoT.
