Talk:Damage over time

I'm not sure whether health degeneration triggers effects that are caused by "taking damage". Anyone? --Tetris L 01:41, 13 Aug 2005 (EST)
- Degen does not count as damage. --Fyren 03:49, 13 Aug 2005 (EST)
- It does according to Master of Damage in Isle of the Nameless 84.26.132.106 01:04, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- He's the exception, not the rule. He's programmed to record all health lost, not just direct damage. Things like Reversal of Fortune don't trigger on degen, that's why it's not damage.
- And yay for responding to 2 1/2 year old conversations. --Macros 01:49, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] category/quick reference
I was just wondering, isn't there a category/quick reference for DoT skills? If there isn't, I think it would be helpfull if made, but if it already exists, there's a bunch of skills that should have it listed on their page. --

- There's Direct DoT AoE skills quick reference, but it doesn't cover non-AoE skills (Seeping Wound e.g.) or non-direct (whatever that means), so a full DoT QR would probably be useful. —Dr Ishmael

- I think non-direct would be Incendiary Bonds, since it has a timer. Same goes for, say, Destructive Was Glaive (somewhat) and Destruction, I guess. Otoh, they aren't DoT. I can't think of ANY indirect DoT in that manner. And I have no idea what else it would be. ---

- Ah, right, I should've realized that - direct means the damage is dealt (or starts to be dealt) immediately when the skill is activated. In that case, traps would be indirect, wouldn't they? Dust and Flame trap are listed on the Direct DoT QR. —Dr Ishmael 17:59, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

- Oh, right, Traps. Yeah, those would be indirect in the example above. *Note: Not every trap is DoT + Spike Trap is missing, since it has 2 pulses.* Assuming it is what the original creator of the category had in mind :P --- -- (contribs) (talk) 18:05, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
- Well, actually, that was kinda the QR I was looking for when I wrote this, but I seemed to have completely forgot (or something) that there are non-AoE DoT's too, like most of the ones you listed.--
