[1.2.323] (2) Moar Skill Balancing

The concern I have with what Dusk proposed for DoT effects on bosses is the fact that DoT only deals damage as the timer DECREASES.

No, you misunderstood my post. The boss would take damage per second as long as there's an active timer on it (server checks for DoT once per second). Spamming the same skill would just refresh the timer. Using a skill with a higher DoT would start a new timer. So yes, the DoT effect would operate on its own.

@ the idea of stacking DoTs on bosses, even if that works, it won't do pomegranate. The combined DoT effect from all of your other skills doesn't beat spamming Paralyze.

Likewise for throwing Inferno/Flamethrower in at bosses: Inferno has a 50% DoT. You lose a good 6 Hurricane arrows by taking the time to use it. Flamethrower has a respectable 110% DoT but still barely matches Cannon for damage over the 8 second burn duration.
