After seeing the damage they did in the old days I'd vote for "No" on area DoT's. Single target DoT's are fine as is and keep CM balanced. Commando's will still have area fire DoT's but can't augment it with a poison DoT and their fire DoT's aren't as powerful as ours.

I dont want to see suicide groups of area DoT'ers rushing a group like we saw all to often in the old days. Tempting as it is, its just not helping our profession in a positive way.

That and the bone the devs just threw us for healing....I'm betting it'll be a long time before they get around to adding anything new to us.

I have to agree, CM area dots were too over-powered in the old days, an area dot would do nothing but hurt our reputation, which is already fragile for cries of nerfs on our healing abilities.

Commando'es have extremly weak fire dots that almost never stick...

still though, your point is valid, it would make cm's over powered if they could aoe dot things like the old days.

perhaps if these were implemented with only like a 1/3 or maybe 1/4 of hte damage of a single target poison...then maybe

I'd like to see Infect get fixed before they add new things that won't work to our profession.

Im going to say no on ranged dots since like many others i remember the serging of old, but i would like to see something like +10 throw range at m.cm along with an area ranged heal.
