Is damage over time affected by total damage and boss damage?

[AlanTheMan]

I've heard that damage over time is NOT affected by total damage. Then, how about boss damage?

Thank you!

[ShinkuDragon]

they're the same kind of damage, so no, neither works

Wow. Boss damage plays a very important role in hitting the cap. So DoT can't really reach the cap?

Jobs like FP mage, their DPS heavily relies on DoT damage. If we account boss damage in DPS, FP mage won't have such a high DPS in relation to other jobs, right?

yo'd have to wait for someone more well-versed in F/P mages, i just remember bleve pulling some insane numbers on his DoT

The real magic for fp is applying multiple dots to boost mist eruption, not really the damage itself

Anywho past a certain funding point it's just better to spam paralyze anyway, and me cd reduce will be getting nerfed to 50%

%dmg doesn't affect dots and summons in gms currently

it just makes %matt that much more appealing I guess
