[1.2.323] (2) Moar Skill Balancing

That's what he hopes, according to iAmFear the DoT interrupts after each cast and since it takes 1s before DoT starts doing damage it's effectively cancelling the DoT effect if you spam the skill.

I/l archmages can use ice demon for DoT and then spam chain lightning for 15 seconds
between each cast. Ice demon must also cause enough damage during those
15 seconds to make up for not using a chain lightning instead.

F/P archmages however cannot spam paralyze for DoT so they would have to use
alternative skills during bossing. Each skill would have to stack and even then I'm not
sure on how that surpasses the damage from spamming paralyze.

So nexon needs to change how DoT skills work to dusk's suggestion for f/p ams:

If you continue to spam Paralyze, you will refresh the timer, and the monster will continue
to take DoT damage until that timer runs out.

I think that's the best possible system.

Not to mention that this discussing relies on nexon making the major bosses (zakum, ht, ect.)
acceptable to DoT skills. =/
