I was doing the rebel theme part and I got jumped by a giant crystal snake. I looted a fairly weak DLT20 rifle off of it. The stats on the weapon are crap (7.0 speed, low damage) but it doeshave a DOT. It's a poison DOT that attacks the action pool and last for 65 seconds (don't remeber the strength).
Is this a weapon that someone would actually use or is it just some oddity that I should hang on the wall of my shop?

to answer the title first, no not all dot weapons are valuble. what you look for in a dot is SDP Streght-Duration-Potency-stat-type not in that order necisarily
il make some examples
200 strenght - 35 seconds- 99% - Action - fire this is not much for regular PVp due to the low duration, and thats what ruines it, it would be ok for jedi though
60 - 120 - 44 - Mind - Fire this is actually a better dot for pvp than the first one, since fire tick every 10 seconds, it would do 600 damage to an opponents mind and wound it so i would use it as a backup dot
400 - 340 - 230% - Mind - Fire this is something that would make a DOT whore sell his soul
