Is DOT having issues?

[MrRedo-21715]

Hi, in this season i’ve built a necromancer with shadowblight and currently a Rogue with poison infusion, diffrently from other seasons it seems like the damage over time has either changed or not working properly.

Specially i am referring to the nercomancer ( lv 87) a lot of affixes for DoT also gems anf also Paradigm.

Is feels like i kill them waaay soner almoast with the impact of blight, while i would like to shift the build less on direct damage and way more on DoT damage.

Am iu doing something wrong?

Have i not read something?

Is there any particular bug? (in the previous season it felt waay better, i don’t care for millions of damage, i want a lot of Dot)

Thank you

Edit: with regular demons they die on one hit, with elites almost feels exactly the same, and with bosses, it cuts away a lot of health but there is almost no Dot displayed.

What is the point of having a 36% direct damage and 230% DoT damage if the direct damage kills directly?

Damage over time doth not crit or deal overwhelming damage. However, it can accumulate using attack speed. Try it. Increasing damage under vulnerability and just common damage can also help. And look at it :

Diablo 4 has a mathematics problem. (also bugs)

Diablo 4 is a relatively new game. It had a rough start but it’s progressively getting better in many ways. I still see two glaring issues with the game though: If you have played Diablo 4 for enough time to get to the mid game or simply watched a streamer attempt to put together a build, you will know that many builds are the result of some unintended interaction or simply bugs. What’s worse is that these unintended interactions and bugs seem to last quite a while sometimes spanning multiple s…
