Dots or DD?

[naratuul]

irrespective of how you build the original DoT, the maintenance cost is paid purely in sap, which can be useful. I do the original cast heavy on hp credits, so my sap will last longer in the link. If you have the "active links" window up, it will show how much sap you are paying per 'tick' (amp power makes a difference for afflictions.. havent actually looked at elemental )

I use DoTs when solo digging in PR, and nearby aggro is attacking herbis.. the herbis tank for me while I kill the aggro.. without 3/4 killing myself spending the credits DD spells would cost Also useful on Named, if they are fighting something that will last out the battle (eg, another Named .. havent actually seen that happen for a while now, maybe the AI has been revamped )

the point is DoT are cheaper but slower. Dont use them if you are in a hurry, or if you have lots of healing power available.

Indeed Those pesky zerks in PR are childs play when you toss a DoT on them while they are munching on a bodoc, leaving you plenty of stats in case you get into real trouble.

Unless it's been hand tweaked in selective other cases, no, Lobbin and Wyac still engage each other regularly. We often have to take them both on at once..
