    Since when were those 2 identifiers exclusive of one another?

    Direct dmg aoe is a thing.
    Dot aoe is a thing.
    Direct dmg single target is a thing.
    Dot single target is a thing.

    There is only 4 combinations and this is option 1 apparently.

    Deadly Strike was updated to include "channeled abilities" instead of strictly dots so that flurry/jabs were still counted, despite changing from dot to direct dmg. The changes helped remove the long standing debate of whether or not a channeled spammable should be counted as direct or dot damage. ZOS showed their stance on this.

    Makes me question Vamp Drain and Bow Ulti.. hmm.

    Direct dmg AoE : Sweps, Impulse, Sap essence, bombard

    DoT AoE: Blockade, Twisting Path, Eruption

    AoE Direct dmg + DoT (DD first, DoT later) = Acid spray, DBoS

    AoE DoT + Direct dmg (DoT first, DD later): Unstable Wall of elements, Necrotic orb (through synergy)
    Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly

    I was born with the wrong sign
    In the wrong house
    With the wrong ascendancy
    I took the wrong road
    That led to the wrong tendencies
    I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
    For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
    On the wrong day of the wrong week
    Used the wrong method with the wrong technique

    Yes, Jabs does physical, direct damage in an AoE. None of these things are mutually exclusive.

    Direct damage and AoE aren't mutually exclusive.

    They are not, actually. There are two types of damage: 1. Direct Damage 2. Damage over Time.
    Biting Jabs and Puncturing Sweeps are Direct Damage.

    There are two types of damage skills: 1. Area of Effect 2. Single Target.
    Biting Jabs and Puncturing Sweeps are a combination of both (while mostly considered a Channeled AOE) where the closest target is considered Single Target with the greatest damage multiplier, non-closest target(s) are struck by the AOE portion of each skills at a reduced damage multiplier.

    The skills is dodge-able (and very easily at that) and block-able. The skill's effectiveness is also still reduced by Major Evasion.

    Care to enlighten us all how to dodge jabs so easily? And no "dodging out of the aoe radius of jabs" does not mean dodgeable
