Dots that cannot be cleansed.

Is there a list somewhere? I'm not finding any definitive information. It looks like bleeds couldn't be cleansed at one point. Is that still the case?

What about sload's proc?

If they can all be cleansed/purged/purified/expunged, its kind of pointless isn't it?

Theory crafting based on necro passive. (Kind of odd to be the one with the dot passive and no dots.)

    There's quite a few trial dots that can't be purged.

    There's quite a few trial dots that can't be purged.

    Sorry, I was specifically looking into pvp.

    Thank you though!

    Thematically, you'd think that any DoT which is attached to the target can be purged, and any DoT which is not attached to the target cannot be purged. In other words, if you can run away from the DoT, it can't be purged - so ground-targeted and those which emanate or radiate from the caster. I don't think that's perfectly true, since some things like beams both emanate from the caster and attach to the target. When I asked my friends to help me test and figure this out they told me to focus on important things instead.

    I suppose its not strictly a dot but I can purge over and over again and never manage to remove power of the light.

    What about bleeds? I haven't been able to browse all the prior history update notes. They're purgeable now?

    Sorry but everything that is applied to a target directly that deals damage can be purged. Inevitable Detonation isn't a DoT but purging it does cause a premature detonation.

    To my knowledge all DoTs which are ground-targeted (like Eruption) or caster-centered (like Corrosive Armor's DoT) cannot be purged. Does that sound right to you?

    Correct, reason I worded my response the way I did. However, in PVP ground placed DoTs are pretty darn worthless when your foe will simply not stand in them. You have to bait them into it and fight inside of it, which is inviting trouble when facing multiple attackers who can flank to the sides. PvP can very much be dictated by mobility, and ground DoTs are not very mobile.

    That's right.

    I think it is that way because, using in-game logic for a second, in an AoE DoT you are the one inside of the DoT whereas for a sticky DoT the DoT is instead stuck to you.
