Thread: DoT attacks and Dodge
Two things I would like to see somediscussionon, both dealing with DoT attacks
1: Should DoT attacks be affected by armor resists?
2: Should the DoT attack stick on a Dodge/Counterattack/Block?
Now if the DoT was affected by armor that would make certain creatures NPC's very tough to take down in PvE and PvP last a while longer, and I think would be a change for the better, even though our own bleeds would suffer greatly say our bleed2 in pvp hit for 300 dmg per tick. Ar1 would drop that to 150 unless you were useing a VB ( but then you wouldnt have a 300dmg per tick ) lets just say another 50% off of that as well down to 75 dmg per tick.
While this would pretty much make our bleeds usless ( think stun baton though ) it would definatly take the game away from DoT attacks = Win in all aspects of the game, make more strategy and group events.
Now If so and so NS ranger Hits me for 600 dmg but "You evade the attack" why the hell am I bleeding? Even by the wording of dodge/counterattack/block it makes DoT look like a bug when they are dodged. This is something melee would greatly benifit from and I think commando's would not like on bit. However I am conviced it is a bug.
Anywho what do you guys/gals think?
It is logical for bleeds to be effected by armour, this is because if a person is wearing thick armour i cant cut him aswell as someone who is wairing just clothing. Maybe a new modifer on weapons could be added such as cutting abilliity maybe a ryyk blade or a curved sword would be given 100% cutting stopping armour effecting the bleed power. Then you have weapons such as Stun Baton which would have a low cutting score maybe 15%. Flames would definatly be effected as armour could act like a flame retardent suit(lots of possiblity for new armour defenses if u ask me). Posion and disease well maybe a helmet could effect the combat medic type as you would need to breath them in.
Dodge attacks sticking on dodge, counterattack and block in my opionin is wrong it should not as if you want to bleed or flame someone then you have to hit someone, but posion and disease you dont because these would be realised generally in a gas the weapons with damage over time such as posion and disease should be effected by dodge, counter and block.
Also theres the issue of moves that hit all three pools going through evade and being impossible to dodge, counterattack or blockthis i have tested myself but did not post results but they were more than conclusive. The question here is could you dodge or counterattack or block a move that hit you in the head the legs and the chest personally i dont think so but the combat spam shows you as evading sometimes but you still take the damage this can be very confusing.
Sorry people i forgot to spellcheck the previous post and accidently clicked the italics button it seems but hey i like the look of it so i think ill keep it
