It isn't like adding 50-100 str during tp at all, and you're still assuming they never used JA. Shit if skill wasn't an issue Thf could use Ridill...

Casting an offensive spell (in this case, a DoT) will reset the timer before a mob will start to regen. The act of having a DoT will not prevent a monster from regenning after they go idle. You're welcome to try it out. Nuke something, cast a long-lasting unresistable DoT on it like dia or bio, then die and watch it idle/regen.

Ran out with a mule and gathered a couple bees to take me out. Deliberately took one to 30% or so. When I got near death, I proceeded to Dia as many as I could. The 30% one died while I was dead, others continued to lose HP until Dia wore off 48s later. Sorry, but it stops idle regen.

I knew I wasn't crazy.
Had to be some reason my Zone -> Bio -> Zone strategy worked on Murphey to get my hat back in the day -

EDIT: Memory is foggy, still think later NMs recovered hp a lot faster than that. or just prevented it from depopping... I do remember Tyger going to hell once and once idle was regening 3-5% hp/tick easy.

Granted DoTs only offset innate regens, which SE's added to some later (H)NMs. Other conditional aspects like rage modes could possibly introduce things we hadn't quite picked up on, either. Still, the passive stat and initial regen should be under 30s of going idle, probably closer to 15.

Why are people continuing to compare well/optimally-geared melee RDMs to classes which are apparently AFKing for 3/4th of the fight?
How does this make any sense? -
07-18-2011, 10:15 AMSupersunBecause people are still taking DDs that afk for 3/4th of the fight over Rdms?Quote:

Of course we will, your melee RDM is still onlyu doing at most 80% of what those poorly geared, 3/4 of a fight afking DDs do.
