DOT nerf a little overboard?

I just came back to the game from a few months ago. Can't they find a line where they can make skills usable. Not just OP or nerfed into uselessness. They cut like ever decent DoT spell or Poison in half. That was overboard.

    Agreed. We tried to provide constructive feedback during the PTS cycle, but most of it was ignored. I think this thread still sums it up best: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/496837/youve-still-completely-missed-the-mark-on-dot-damage/p1

    Dots got zossed. Interesting in a game that's 5 years old we're still getting buffs/nerfs in the +/- 50% range. Either they are clueless, or it's a deliberate tactic to keep people chasing the meta. Either way, it's backfiring. It's too much, too frequently.

    Depends on who you asked. I think it's fine, now people need to run active damage skills you need to actively recast, rather than have automation do damage for you.

    That's not the real thrust of the OPs complaint (nor of my discontent), it's that a skill is either a) useless, or b) amazing, and there seems to be very little middle ground.

    Do what? People already run active damage skills. Everyone has the same skills its not like someone has and advantage. Its part of building a rotation to have DOTS.

    Yes now they "need" to run other stuff because X got nerfed into uselessness. Dots have so many counters as it is.
