Didnt find this when using search so figured Id ask.
When the 8% chance to proc is calculated is it based off of the pulse of a DoT or just the initial strike?
I only run one DoT on my current build, and figure VS might not have enough uptime to be worthwhile if it is only triggered by the initial hit.
Im running a Stamplar 2H/bow with posion inject, hence the quest for clarity here
Thanks.

✭You have a 8% proc chance on every Tick of the Dot. Last I could remember was that the set had a Internal Cool-down of 1 sec. Also it does not proc from the Initial hit of Most dots which have a Direct Damage Component on hit.Urban.Monk

Mrsinister2✭✭✭✭✭I'm pretty sure it's the actual damage over time that triggers it since running more dots on people seems to trigger it on cool down.

OG_Kaveman✭✭✭✭✭It is for sure per tick of the dot.
What other skills are you running if poison injection is the only dot on your build?0 -
lukoi✭✭✭Ok thanks guys, really appreciate the clarification. Noticed on another thread that poisons that have health dots can also trigger VS, so might looking into using it after all.
As to the question about what other skills Im using, since only one is a DoT, Im using rally, crit rush, and executioner on the 2h bar and draining shot, PoTL on my bow bar.
Remaining slots are buffs/utility related and my ults are onslaught/ballista, so again, just the one DoT.
I didnt want to get enamored with the DoT meta, guessing it would get tuned down within a patch or so. Wanted to get comfortable with a build that eas effective but not overly reliant on what some might consider cheese or a crutch.0
