The reduced DoT was a way to balanced the increased DPS from instacast skills.
After 4 years of existence, y'all should realize by now that players don't get anything for free.
Reduced respawn times mean more placeholders.
Higher gold drops means more expensive lux items.
Bounties mean higher XP per level.
etc. etc.

#12This would not fix DOTs that have one already, like frostbite. All DOTs for All classes are having this problem.Instead of fixing the bug why dont they just add a on hit tic to replace it?
@Aileron, OTM has said that it was a mistake, not a nerf. They have also said they are trying to fix the timers.

Re: Druid Dots Nerfed
#13Ok they say they made a mistake. But you would think in a quest to make the skills "better" , they would actually be looking and testing the new code?
It takes all of 5 hours after patch for us to notice.....

#14It didn't happen by itself. Someone deliberately changed that code. How can it be a mistake? The timers weren't broken.@Aileron, OTM has said that it was a mistake, not a nerf. They have also said they are trying to fix the timers.
They just say that now because players noticed and weren't happy about it.

Was a bug in phase 1 of closed beta all the way through the end of beta, and into live game. They have said it is a low priority bug and will eventually fix it.
Not an issue that was introduced in the live game.

Re: Druid Dots Nerfed
#16A bug that reduces DoT damage FOR ALL CLASSES by 16-25% was considered low priority? Just wow.
It was indeed a mistake it would've been fixed before pushing it to the live game.

#17How is two of our only sources of damage a low priority? That honestly shows how much OTM cares about us.It didn't happen by itself. Someone deliberately changed that code.

Re: Druid Dots Nerfed
#18Hi just to clarify this is currently a very high priority gameplay bug for fixing.
