DOT is coming to kill us!

Rolf

I'm surprised there hasn't been more chatter about this part of the update notes. Damage-Over-Time effects now finally being lethal is a big change! Heck, even Talia is dangerous now.

Don't know about the rest of you, but I've tended to ignore the DOT effects and now I'm worried that I'll lose characters to it by surprise! After all, there's no way to know whether you're in the "kill-range" when you're under a DOT.

Enrico

You will be in for alot surprises! But I expect that you like everyone else will learn it fast enough when your heroes are dying like flies

Fear Greedo!

I've been waiting for this change. I wondered why it only took people to 0-1 hp and still let them attack.

Oh hell yes.

dots are generally very low damage. i can only remember a few times that i was saved by a dot not killing me. now if they are using vader and sid you might be in trouble. i've seen them drop 3 or4 dots on a character.

Nauros

Only time when I felt the dots significantly was the Vader challenge, and even there it wasn't a big deal... Well, things may change now.

The_Oklahoma_Kid

Healers challenge with Savage might be harder.

Darklloyd

How many % you think a dot damage ?

reizse

not sure, but most games i've played, a tick of DoT is 5% max hp

CaptSeaWalker

I'm happy about this, but I learned to ignore dot effects also, time to get back to normal.... Where you should worry about bleeding out lol

Darklloyd

Nice ! Effectivly dot is going to kill us ! Luke is the next poe lol (tenacity)

JohnnyMakeBelieve

That's such a solid point, there are already so many Sid leads and now this

I'm concerned about the Speed leader abilities in arena bugs tho why not touched

Ztyle

Oh you weren't talking about Dot Matrix

Dayma

Yea, gonna be fun to play vader / sid now

Darklloyd

What you think about a base team : sid/vader/88/poe and (talia) maybe ?

Tomek

If it will ocure , Vader maybe will have a sense. Now Vader is not usable and very weak. Lets see and decide if Vader is worth to gear it up.

elFlaco

Vader is far from weak. Slow as molasses tho.

It is not bug, it baffles me how people can be so uninformed, it is disabled in first turn.

Darklloyd

I think my vader have 12k5 hp with full gear and 4*, soon 5.
He can now apply 3 hard dot and with the update (Jedi) his ability block can't be Dodge.
For me He isnt weak

Yars. I will love using him against AI teams with Lumi as their only healer in GW when the update comes. Bring down the team far enough so Lumi doesn't heal, ability block with vader, finish lumi off, and nit pick the remainders while my team gets heals.

Could someone please explain how DOT works?

DOT= Damage over time. Many characters do damage over time. They are about to update the game so if the DOT brings you to 0 health your character will die. Before it wouldn't kill them and they could still complete thier turn

Depends whether her *alarm* goes off. In which case she might.
